About our film set catering in Bell Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for lunch at the unit base and location filming.
In Bell Green, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Events in Bell Green and across Greater London
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Classic food your crew already know

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s 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 spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
