About our film set catering in Bellingham
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For lunch at the unit base and end-of-shoot parties, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots in Bellingham frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

In Bellingham and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Music video shoots

Within reach of Bellingham are historic houses such as Kingswood House (2.5 miles west) and Bromley Palace (2.8 miles south-east). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Bellingham 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

With the A2218 nearby, Bellingham is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. For cast and crew travelling by train, Bellingham station serves Bellingham directly.
Shoots anywhere in SE6, SE26 and SE23 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Oslac Road, Orford Road and Aitken Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Being close to the A2218, Bellingham is simple for us to get to.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
As a London location, Bellingham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
