How our film set catering works in Brentham Garden Suburb
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it’s live events and broadcasts and photo shoots, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Shoots in Brentham Garden Suburb frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter shoots near Brentham Garden Suburb chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
- Share the base location and route
- Send final numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A menu almost everyone likes

Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
