Fresh fish and chips in Brownbread Street
Film set catering for your shoot in Brownbread Street
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for music video shoots and lunch at the unit base.
Near Brownbread Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A level, firm spot at the unit base

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Brownbread Street
Which station is closest to Brownbread Street?
Battle station, about 4.9 miles east of the centre.
Is Brownbread Street close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
