About our film set catering in Becontree Heath
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For crew lunches at base and location shoots, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
In Becontree Heath, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planning the van’s spot

- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Level, firm ground at base
- Access checked by locations
Becontree Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Questions from Becontree Heath
Which station is closest to Becontree Heath?
Chadwell Heath station, about 1.1 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Parsloes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What does the van 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
