A chip van near Robertsbridge
How our film set catering works in Robertsbridge
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We are often asked to cater live events and broadcasts and stills shoots, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Robertsbridge can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

For planners, venues and organisers
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 are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book our van in Robertsbridge
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Robertsbridge is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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
