How our film set catering works in Leigh Green
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We are frequently asked to cater stills shoots and seaside shoots, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Leigh Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Leigh Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Leigh Green?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 5 miles away.
Can the van park in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.

Of course. Let us know total numbers.
