Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter shoots near Homerton chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear route to base

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Common questions in Homerton
What about parking in Homerton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Millfields Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What can crew choose from?
