A chip van near Middle Park
How our film set catering works in Middle Park
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and crew morale days, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots in Middle Park often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Light in Middle Park lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The location’s agreement
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Light near the van if needed
Middle Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Middle Park
What about parking in Middle Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Horn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
