Film set catering for your shoot in Crook Log
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. Typical bookings include stills shoots and wrap celebrations, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Crook Log, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu

- The day of the week
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Planning a shoot in Crook Log

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Common questions in Crook Log
What’s the nearest station to Crook Log?
Bexleyheath station, in Crook Log itself.
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you cover Crook Log?
We do. We serve events in Crook Log and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. Winter shoots near Crook Log chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Why choose a fish and chip van in Crook Log?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
