About our film set catering in New Romney
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it is music video shoots and treat days on a long shoot, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a location shoot near New Romney, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Step by step

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
