A chip van near Vigo Village
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Events in Vigo Village and across Kent
- A menu almost everyone likes
Film set catering in Vigo Village, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are often asked to cater commercials and music videos and end-of-shoot parties, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Vigo Village, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
For event organisers in Vigo Village
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
