DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Creekmouth
Can the van park in Abbey Wood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Creekmouth?
The closest is Barking Riverside station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Access checked by locations
As a London location, Creekmouth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
