How our film set catering works in City of Westminster
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it’s commercials and music videos and location filming, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
London locations around City of Westminster can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For event organisers in City of Westminster
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In December, daylight in City of Westminster ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Could you trade in Hyde Park?

Which station is closest to City of Westminster?
City of Westminster has its own station: Bond Street station.
Do you fry it on site?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission for the van at base
- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, City of Westminster is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
