Film set catering for Crofton Park events
How our film set catering works in Crofton Park
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater stills shoots and period dramas on location.
In Crofton Park, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Crofton Park?
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A clear route to base
Crofton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the base location and route
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Flag any coeliac crew
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Crofton Park questions
Can the van park in Blythe Hill Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Crofton Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you come to Crofton Park?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Crofton Park and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. On a winter shoot near Crofton Park, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
