About our film set catering in Dagenham Green
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and music video shoots.
In Dagenham Green, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Dagenham Green questions
Can the van park in Parsloes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Dagenham Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Dagenham Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Agree how the base is left
- Send final numbers the day before
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Dagenham Green 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 picture and we will tell you honestly.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
