About our film set catering in Little Portugal
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include outside broadcasts and end-of-shoot parties, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Little Portugal, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Common questions in Little Portugal
What’s the nearest station to Little Portugal?
Wandsworth Road station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Can the van park in Larkhall Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
