Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Update numbers if they change
- Name a contact in the production office
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a map or what3words for base
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A dining area at base helps.
Film set catering in North Greenwich, cooked to order
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We’re frequently asked to cater live events and broadcasts and location shoots, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In North Greenwich, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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 usually simpler.

Why choose a fish and chip van in North Greenwich?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
See our prices page or the cost guide.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
North Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Long summer days in North Greenwich, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
