A chip van near East Sheen
Film set catering in East Sheen, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and seaside and period locations, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In East Sheen, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in East Sheen
Which station is closest to East Sheen?
East Sheen has its own station: Mortlake station.
Could you trade in Palewell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Crew normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in East Sheen ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

Shooting in East Sheen: unit bases and access
East Sheen is about 3 miles west of Fulham, in Greater London. For shoots in East Sheen, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We serve 764 places in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Historic houses near East Sheen include Chiswick House (1.3 miles north) and Hogarth's House (1.6 miles north). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in SW14, SW13 and SW15, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. That could mean a shoot at a home on Elm Road, Well Lane and Fife Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Other places close to East Sheen we cover include Mortlake (1 mile north-east), North Sheen (1 mile north-west), Barnes (1 mile north-east), Grove Park (1 mile north) and Richmond upon Thames (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (8 miles east), City of Westminster (6 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (4 miles north-east), St Pancras (8 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (9 miles north-east).

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree how the base is left
- Name a contact in the production office
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in East Sheen? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Lighting for early or late service
- Clear of the shot and sound
As a London location, East Sheen is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
