Film set catering for Mundy Bois events
About our film set catering in Mundy Bois
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew morale days and unit base lunches.
Near Mundy Bois, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Something for crew to gather round
- Bookings across Kent, including Mundy Bois
- Hot food handed straight over

What else we do in Mundy Bois
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send allergies to us in writing
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Winter shoots near Mundy Bois chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
