About our film set catering in Fish Island
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For crew morale days and seaside shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
London locations around Fish Island can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree how the base is left
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send final numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.

Here we cover the E3, E9 and E20 postcode area, and we can serve your shoot anywhere in it. From Wick Lane, Dace Road and Wyke Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
