A chip van near Broad Green
Broad Green: your questions answered
Can the van park in Waddon Ponds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Broad Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
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 tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Film set catering in Broad Green, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it’s crew treats on long shoot days and ad shoots, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Shoots in Broad Green frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Broad Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Broad Green, 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 agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Lighting for early or late service
- Access checked by locations
Broad 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the base location and route
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Send final numbers the day before
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A dining area at base helps.
