Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Wittersham
How far is Wittersham from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Wittersham?
Rye station, about 4.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How our film set catering works in Wittersham
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for end-of-shoot parties and crew morale days.
Near Wittersham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wittersham?
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Shooting in Wittersham: unit bases and access
Wittersham is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Wittersham and nearby villages. Wittersham is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Wittersham to Canterbury (24 miles away).
With the B2082 nearby, Wittersham is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Historic houses near Wittersham include Smallhythe Place (1.6 miles north) and Lamb House (4.7 miles south). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. The coast is within about 5 miles of Wittersham, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
For shoots in TN30, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include The Street, Poplar Road and Swan Cottages, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Main roads around Wittersham include the B2082, so getting the van to your shoot is simple. If your venue is just outside Wittersham, we also cover Acton (1 mile north-east), The Stocks (1 mile east), Stone Corner (1 mile north-east), Reading Street (2 miles north-east) and Stone in Oxney (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (11 miles north-east), Tenterden (4 miles north), Kennington (13 miles north-east), New Romney (11 miles east), Staplehurst (12 miles north-west) and Stanhope (10 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Ypres Tower (4.8 miles south) and Smallhythe Place (1.6 miles north). Open spaces near Wittersham include Flatropers Wood.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wittersham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Who books film set catering in Wittersham?
It is self-contained, just a spot at the unit base.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Period dramas on location
- Outside broadcasts
- Crew morale days
- Lunch at the unit base
For crew arriving by train, Rye station, about 4.5 miles south, is the nearest station.

- What the price includes, item by item
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun

Allergies and dietary needs

Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access checked by locations
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
