Film set catering in Cyprus, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for event crews and seaside and period locations.
Shoots in Cyprus often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What affects the price in Cyprus
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Common questions in Cyprus
Could you trade in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Cyprus?
Woolwich station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Cyprus? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
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.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Update numbers if they change
- Send the unit base address and directions
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Cyprus is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Cyprus for film and TV crews
Cyprus is about 2 miles east of Canning Town, in Greater London. Around Cyprus, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground, close to your crew. Cyprus is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Cyprus to London (about 7 miles away).
Within reach of Cyprus are historic houses such as Eastbury Manor House (2.3 miles north-east) and Queen's House (3.5 miles south-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.
Here we cover the E6 and E16 postcode area. Streets in the area include Strait Road, Harper Road and Trader Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Cyprus we cover include Beckton (1 mile north-east), North Woolwich (1 mile south), Royal Docks (1 mile west), East Ham (1 mile north) and Custom House (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles west), City of Westminster (9 miles west), Marylebone (9 miles west), Kensington (11 miles west), St Pancras (8 miles west) and Shoreditch (6 miles west).
A little further out are Greenwich Castle (3.6 miles south-west) and North Woolwich Old Station Museum (0.7 miles south). Open spaces near Cyprus include Gilbert's Pit.
- Nearby schools include London Design and Engineering UTC (within half a mile south-west) and Oasis Academy Silvertown (0.6 miles south)
- Local facilities include East Ham (1.6 miles north)
Perfect for your shoot in Cyprus
Service is quick from the hatch with a short menu.

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- The location’s agreement
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
As a London location, Cyprus is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
