A chip van near North Street
Film set catering for your shoot in North Street
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We’re often asked to cater ad shoots and outside broadcasts, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like North Street, tracks and soft ground need checking. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the space and the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in North Street is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Questions from North Street
Is North Street close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is North Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover North Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including North Street. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Street.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
