A chip van near Friday Hill
Film set catering in Friday Hill, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it’s wrap parties and location shoots, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Friday Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Friday Hill
Which station is closest to Friday Hill?
Chingford station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Could you trade in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

As a London location, Friday Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
