How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

- The date and time of the event

- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about

About our film set catering in Nackington
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for crew lunches at base and wrap celebrations.
Near Nackington, check tracks and ground for the van. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
For event organisers in Nackington
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 will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Questions from Nackington
Do you come out to small places like Nackington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Nackington close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Nackington?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Events in Nackington and across Kent
- Quick service from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
