Film set catering for your shoot in Brimsdown
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and live events and broadcasts, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots in Brimsdown often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Brimsdown 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
