Film set catering for your shoot in Chingford Mount
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater photo shoots and seaside shoots.
In Chingford Mount, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What can crew choose from?

Can the van come to base?
Normally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.

We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
