Film set catering in Speldhurst, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for event crews and treat days on a long shoot.
Near Speldhurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Light in Speldhurst lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
