Film set catering in Bexley
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Access checked by locations
- Room for the crew to queue
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
As a London location, Bexley 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 before booking.

Film set catering in Bexley, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We’re often asked to cater commercials and music videos and wrap parties, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Bexley, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Location catering around Bexley
Bexley is about 3 miles east of Eltham, in Greater London. From the centre of Bexley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Bexley is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Bexley to London (11 miles away).
With the A2018 and B2210 nearby, Bexley is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Within reach of Bexley are historic houses such as Red House (0.9 miles north) and Hall Place and Gardens (1.1 miles east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. Bexley is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check vehicle rules with locations.
Shoots anywhere in DA5, DA6, DA14 and DA1 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. From Bexley High Street, Camden Road and The North Glade or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. You’ll find Bexley on the A2018 and B2210, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go

Common questions in Bexley
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
