Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
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.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Why choose film set catering in New Charlton?

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in New Charlton
Which station is closest to New Charlton?
New Charlton has its own station: Charlton station.
Is parking a problem for the van in New Charlton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

What the van needs

- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base

New Charlton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
