About our film set catering in North Street
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For seaside shoots and live events and broadcasts, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near North Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Location catering around North Street
North Street is about 2 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Across the ME13 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
North Street is roughly 45 miles from central London. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Faversham station, about 1.8 miles north, is the nearest station. North Street is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles.
For shoots in ME13, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include Sheldwich (1 mile south), Sheldwich Lees (1 mile south), Painter's Forstal (1 mile north-west), Badlesmere (2 miles south) and Throwley (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (8 miles east), Sittingbourne (8 miles north-west), Whitstable (8 miles north-east), Herne Bay (12 miles north-east) and Minster (10 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Newnham Castle (3.7 miles west).
- Schools near North Street include The Abbey School (1.5 miles north)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Occasions we serve in North Street
It’s quick to serve within a lunch break with a short menu.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:

North Street: your questions answered
How far is North Street from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Is North Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Name a contact in the production office
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send allergies to us in writing
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. On a winter shoot near North Street, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
