Fresh fish and chips in Meopham
Film set catering in Meopham, fried fresh
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will adjust where we can. Whether it’s crew lunches at base and music video shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Meopham, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
