About our film set catering in Anvil Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. For end-of-shoot parties and location shoots, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Anvil Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before you book
- Quick service from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is 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.
