About our film set catering in Radfall
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch at the unit base and seaside shoots.
Near Radfall, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Radfall
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Radfall and the whole of Kent
- A clear quote before you book

Central London is about 51 miles from Radfall. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Confirm numbers the day before
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
