A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen needed

Before you choose a spot

- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Colliers Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
