How our film set catering works in Camberwell
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include music video shoots and crew treats on long shoot days, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Camberwell, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Camberwell
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Camberwell?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Camberwell?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What else we do in Camberwell
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

Planning a shoot in Camberwell
Camberwell is about 2 miles south of London, in Greater London. For shoots in Camberwell, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London.
Among the historic houses close to Camberwell are Mansion House (2.7 miles north) and Benjamin Franklin House (2.8 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. The A202 and B214 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Camberwell.
Anywhere in SE5, SE15, SE22 and SE24, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve a shoot on streets such as New Church Road, Camberwell Station Road and Addington Square or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. You will find Camberwell on the A202 and B214, so it is easy for us to reach with the van.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In December, daylight in Camberwell ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
