Film set catering for Molash events
About our film set catering in Molash
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. For treat days on a long shoot and shoots on location, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Molash, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Molash? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send the unit base address and directions
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

Molash questions
Can the van go 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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Molash too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.

For a crew lunch people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
