A chip van near Sheerness
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About our film set catering in Sheerness
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are often asked to cater crew morale days and seaside shoots, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Sheerness, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. In December, daylight in Sheerness ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree how the base is left
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us a map or what3words for base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Questions from Sheerness
Is Sheerness close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
