Film set catering in Little Chelsea, cooked to order

A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and location shoots, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

Shoots in Little Chelsea frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • A clear route to base
  • A queue area clear of trucks
  • A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings

As a London location, Little Chelsea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter shoots near Little Chelsea chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.

  1. It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
  2. You get an access check and a quote.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
  4. We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
  5. Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

15 questions to ask before you book

For event organisers in Little Chelsea

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What affects the price in Little Chelsea

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Access and parking
  • Numbers

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The date and time of the event
  • The venue or postcode
  • A photo of the space and the way in

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Little Chelsea. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

What you get with us

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Quick service from the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Little Chelsea questions

What’s the nearest station to Little Chelsea?

The closest is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.7 miles away.

Could you trade in Burton’s Court?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you do wrap parties?

We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What paperwork do you provide?

Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
