Film set catering in Westwood
Film set catering in Westwood, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside and period locations and stills shoots.
Near Westwood, base may be a field or yard. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

- Send the unit base address and directions
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Update numbers if they change

A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.

Common questions in Westwood
How far is Westwood from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Westwood?
The closest is Margate station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Westwood is about 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
