Film set catering for your shoot in Peene
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for shoots on location and live events and broadcasts.
For a shoot in a place like Peene, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning a shoot in Peene
Peene is about 2 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. Peene is well within our area, so your shoot just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Within reach of Peene are historic houses such as Acrise Place (2.7 miles north) and Westenhanger Castle (3.9 miles west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. For crew arriving by train, Folkestone West station is about 1.8 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Peene, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles. The coast is within about 3 miles of Peene, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
This part of Kent takes in CT18, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. Other places close to Peene we cover include Newington (1 mile south-west), Arpinge (1 mile north-east), Cheriton (1 mile south-east), Etchinghill (1 mile north-west) and Seabrook (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (11 miles west), Canterbury (13 miles north), Dover (8 miles east), Deal (14 miles north-east), Hythe (3 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (8 miles east).
A little further out are Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (under half a mile west) and Folkestone Castle (1.8 miles east). Open spaces near Peene include Cheriton Hill.
- Local schools include Turner Free School (1.4 miles south-east)
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Long summer days in Peene, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Peene: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Peene?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
