Film set catering in Avery Hill
Avery Hill for film and TV crews
Avery Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Eltham, in Greater London. Wherever your shoot is in the SE9 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. Avery Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Avery Hill to London (8 miles away).
Avery Hill is on or near the A210, good for unit base access. Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (1.2 miles west) and Danson House (1.9 miles east). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.
For shoots in SE9, DA15 and DA16, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Local streets include Bexley Road, Glenure Road and Perpins Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Avery Hill is on the A210, which makes the journey straightforward. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Blackfen (1 mile east), Eltham (1 mile south-west), New Eltham (1 mile south), Falconwood (1 mile north-east) and Well Hall (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (8 miles north-west), City of Westminster (11 miles north-west), Marylebone (11 miles north-west), Kensington (12 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Greenwich Castle (3.8 miles north-west) and Metropolitan Police Museum (1.7 miles south-east). Open spaces near Avery Hill include Summer Hill and The Tarn.
- Schools near Avery Hill include Alderwood Primary School (0.5 miles south-east)
Film set catering in Avery Hill, fried fresh
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We are often asked to cater lunch at the unit base and seaside shoots, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In Avery Hill, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Questions from Avery Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Avery Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. Long summer days in Avery Hill, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Put allergy details in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
