How our film set catering works in Rodmersham Green
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it is wrap parties and period dramas on location, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a shoot in a place like Rodmersham Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Rodmersham Green: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For event organisers in Rodmersham Green
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Lighting for early or late service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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 typically simpler.

Rodmersham Green questions
Which station is closest to Rodmersham Green?
Sittingbourne station, about 1.7 miles north of the centre.
Is Rodmersham Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
