Fresh fish and chips in Battersea

Film set catering for your shoot in Battersea

A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it is shoots on location and treat days on a long shoot, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.

London locations around Battersea can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Where the van can park in Battersea

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Permission for the van at base
  • A hardstanding spot at the unit base
  • Space in front of the hatch

As a London location, Battersea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What we serve

  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Crew lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas

The process

The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Battersea is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

  1. We start with a few details about your shoot.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Battersea? 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.

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Can the van come to base?

Typically, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Which areas do you serve?
