How our film set catering works in Herne Hill
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater event crews and crew treats on long shoot days.
London locations around Herne Hill can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Agree the waste plan with locations
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Space in front of the hatch
- The location’s agreement
As a London location, Herne Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Herne Hill?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Events in Herne Hill and across Greater London
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over

Among the historic houses close to Herne Hill are Kingswood House (1.7 miles south) and Buckingham Palace (3.8 miles north-west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. With the A204 and A2214 nearby, Herne Hill is easy for the van and the trucks to reach.
Shoots anywhere in SE22, SW2 and SE24 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Jelf Road, Dewey Lane and Talma Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Herne Hill sits on or near the A204 and A2214, which makes travel to your shoot easy.

Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Long summer days in Herne Hill, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
