How our film set catering works in Northumberland Park
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For treat days on a long shoot and unit base lunches, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Northumberland Park, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Questions to ask before booking

- How much space the van takes up
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A clear route to base
As a London location, Northumberland Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

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. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before you book
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the base location and route
- Send final numbers the day before
Used oil leaves with the van.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Light in Northumberland Park lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
