Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, Beam Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- All the chip-shop extras
- Classic food your crew already know
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. At midsummer, Beam Park has light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
