Film set catering in Northumberland Heath, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew treats on long shoot days and commercials and music videos.
Shoots in Northumberland Heath often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Northumberland Heath
Which station is closest to Northumberland Heath?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Northumberland Heath?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
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’ll take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. On a winter shoot near Northumberland Heath, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

A closer look at the menu
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. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, Northumberland Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
