Film set catering in Langley, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include location shoots and lunch at the unit base, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Langley, tracks and soft ground need checking. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning a shoot in Langley
Langley is about 3 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Whether your shoot is in the middle of Langley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our bookings stretch from Langley to Canterbury (22 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Bearsted station is about 2.7 miles away. Within reach of Langley are historic houses such as Stoneacre (1.1 miles north) and Leeds Castle (2.2 miles north-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Langley, so check vehicle rules with locations.

We can serve a shoot on streets such as Heath Road, Green Lane and Sutton Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Plan bins and waste at base
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Langley
How far is Langley from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Langley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
