Film set catering in Stone in Oxney, cooked to order
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Whether it’s location filming and period dramas on location, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Stone in Oxney, tracks and soft ground need checking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Stone in Oxney for film and TV crews
Stone in Oxney is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Stone in Oxney is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve.

Among the historic houses close to Stone in Oxney are Smallhythe Place (3.2 miles north-west) and Lamb House (4.9 miles south). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Central London is about 50 miles from Stone in Oxney, within easy reach for London-based crews. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Local streets include The Street, Forge Meadow and Church Hill; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.
