A chip van near Norbiton
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access checked by locations
- Room for the crew to queue
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Norbiton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

How our film set catering works in Norbiton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are often asked to cater crew lunches at base and stills shoots, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Norbiton, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Norbiton
Can the van park in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Norbiton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
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 be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send final numbers the day before
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
