Film set catering for your shoot in Sevington
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are often asked to cater ad shoots and event crews, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Sevington, tracks and soft ground need checking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning a shoot in Sevington
Sevington is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Sevington is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Sevington is roughly 50 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Among the historic houses close to Sevington are Godinton House (3.9 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. Sevington is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.
Shoots anywhere in TN24 and TN25 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. Local streets include Church Road, Bad Munstereifel Road and Highfield Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Sevington, we also cover Hinxhill Park (1 mile north-east), Mersham (1 mile south-east), Hinxhill (1 mile north-east), South Stour (2 miles south) and Ridgeway (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (13 miles north-east), Folkestone (12 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (8 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (13 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include William Harvey Hospital (0.9 miles north) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.5 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park.
- Schools near Sevington include The North School (1.4 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The William Harvey Public House (0.7 miles north-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
There’s 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.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Sevington: your questions answered
Could you trade in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How far is Sevington from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
