Film set catering in Ivybridge, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew morale days and seaside shoots.
In Ivybridge, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Light in Ivybridge lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

FAQs for Ivybridge
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Ivybridge?
Twickenham station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van come to Ivybridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Ivybridge and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Ivybridge for film and TV crews

People in Ivybridge book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying.

Within reach of Ivybridge are historic houses such as Richmond House (1.1 miles south-east) and Strawberry Hill House (1.5 miles south). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Lighting for early or late service
Ivybridge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
