Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Room for the crew to queue
Bounds Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 you book.
What we serve
- Crew lunches

Perfect for your shoot in Bounds Green
Crews love a chip van day, especially on long shoots.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Location filming
- Lunch at the unit base
- Wrap celebrations
- Event crews
Historic houses near Bounds Green include Bruce Castle (2.2 miles east) and Athlone House (2.8 miles south-west). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Long summer days in Bounds Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
