Film set catering for your shoot in Wingham
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We are often asked to cater fashion shoots on location and wrap parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Wingham, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Long summer days in Wingham, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Wingham questions
Which station is closest to Wingham?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How far is Wingham from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
