How our film set catering works in Small Hythe
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For wrap parties and seaside and period locations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Small Hythe, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Small Hythe: your questions answered
How far is Small Hythe from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is Small Hythe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

Why us?
