Film set catering in Little Kingshill, cooked to order
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for event crews and crew treats on long shoot days.
Near Little Kingshill, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Yes. Just tell us who counts.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Your date and serving time
