How our film set catering works in Lisson Grove
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Whether it’s seaside shoots and fashion shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Shoots in Lisson Grove frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Light near the van if needed
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Lisson Grove is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why choose film set catering in Lisson Grove?
It needs no kitchen on location.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Wrap celebrations
- Fashion shoots on location

Nearby historic houses include Winfield House (under half a mile north-east) and Handel Hendrix House (1.3 miles south-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.
