About our film set catering in Falconwood
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and location filming.
In Falconwood, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Falconwood
Which station is closest to Falconwood?
The closest is Welling station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Falconwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A chip van compared with other options
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Falconwood. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Classic food your crew already know
- Quick service from the hatch
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Access checked by locations
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, Falconwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
