Film set catering in Kingston Stert
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About our film set catering in Kingston Stert
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it is photo shoots and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Kingston Stert can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What else we do in Kingston Stert
Kingston Stert: your questions answered
Is Kingston Stert too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Kingston Stert from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
