Film set catering in Rowsham, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and wrap celebrations.
For a shoot in a place like Rowsham, tracks and soft ground need checking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Classic food your crew already know
- Hot food handed straight over

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Update numbers if they change
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Plan bins at the unit base.
For event organisers in Rowsham
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot. Light in Rowsham lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
