Film set catering for your shoot in Ringwould
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. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew lunches at base and event crews.
For a shoot in a place like Ringwould, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Questions from Ringwould
How far is Ringwould from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Ringwould too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
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 the van come to Ringwould?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ringwould is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
