How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Lullingstone: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

About our film set catering in Lullingstone
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will adjust where we can. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater outside broadcasts and ad shoots.
Rural locations near Lullingstone can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
