Film set catering in Kitwood, fried fresh
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it is ad shoots and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Kitwood can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
What affects the price in Kitwood
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kitwood?
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Kitwood
Do you come out to small places like Kitwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Kitwood from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Does the batter contain gluten?
