Film set catering in South Kenton, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at the unit base and seaside shoots, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Shoots in South Kenton often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Light in South Kenton lasts until about 9:20pm 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in South Kenton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs

- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
