Film set catering in Warren Street, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include seaside shoots and music video shoots, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Warren Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in Warren Street ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Warren Street
What’s the nearest station to Warren Street?
Lenham station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
