Film set catering for your shoot in Hammersmith
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater location filming and end-of-shoot parties.
London locations around Hammersmith can have tight access, 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.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hammersmith? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, Hammersmith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In December, daylight in Hammersmith ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
- 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
