Film set catering in Bermondsey
About our film set catering in Bermondsey
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for stills shoots and location shoots.
Shoots in Bermondsey often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For event organisers in Bermondsey
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bermondsey
Is parking a problem for the van in Bermondsey?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Bermondsey?
London Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Bermondsey?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What affects the price in Bermondsey
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Level, firm ground at base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
As a London location, Bermondsey 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 booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Long summer days in Bermondsey, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
