About our film set catering in Leamouth
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Typical bookings include lunch at the unit base and crew morale days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Leamouth, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Light near the van if needed
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Leamouth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. On a winter shoot near Leamouth, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time

A chip van compared with other options
For a crew treat, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Leamouth
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Questions from Leamouth
Could you trade in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Leamouth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
