A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How our film set catering works in Brockley
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for photo shoots and wrap parties.
In Brockley, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- A clear quote before booking
- Bookings across Greater London, including Brockley
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
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’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
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. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Where the van can park in Brockley
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, Brockley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Brockley
What’s the nearest station to Brockley?
Crofton Park station, in Brockley itself.
Can the van park in Blythe Hill Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Where does the van go on location?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Agree how the base is left
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, Brockley has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
