About our film set catering in Fortis Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We are often asked to cater wrap celebrations and commercials and music videos, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Fortis Green, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Fortis Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
FAQs for Fortis Green
Can the van park in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Fortis Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Agree how the base is left
- Send final numbers the day before
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A dining area at base helps.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter shoots near Fortis Green chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
