Film set catering in Lions Green, cooked to order

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Lions Green
Is Lions Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Lions Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A clear route to base
- The location’s agreement
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
