Fresh fish and chips in Wingham Green
How our film set catering works in Wingham Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. For location shoots and outside broadcasts, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Wingham Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
FAQs for Wingham Green
Is Wingham Green close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Wingham Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
Often, 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.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

What affects the price in Wingham Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- Access and parking
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

- Where you’d like the van to go

- Commercials and music videos
- Crew morale days
- Lunch at the unit base
- Shoots on location
For cast and crew travelling by train, Adisham station is about 1.9 miles away.

- The deadline for final numbers

- Travel, tolls and road charges
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Confirm numbers the day before
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
