About our film set catering in Luxted
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for commercials and music videos and end-of-shoot parties.
In Luxted, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan bins and waste at base
We take our used oil and waste with us.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Luxted is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Luxted
What about parking in Luxted?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you come to Luxted?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Luxted. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
