What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:

- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
About our film set catering in Kensal Green
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re frequently asked to cater photo shoots and wrap celebrations, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Kensal Green, 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, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Kensal Green
Can the van park in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Kensal Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
A chip van compared with other options
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
Kensal Green 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 will advise.
