About our film set catering in East Dulwich
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for wrap parties and location filming.
In East Dulwich, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Daylight is short on winter shoots near East Dulwich: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
