How our film set catering works in Notting Hill
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for crew lunches at base and commercials and music videos.
In Notting Hill, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Events we cater in Notting Hill
It suits short shoots without a full catering unit.
Whatever the occasion in Notting Hill, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Fashion shoots on location
- Treat days on a long shoot
- Crew lunches at base
- Outside broadcasts
Historic houses near Notting Hill include Sambourne House (0.7 miles south-east) and Kensington Palace (0.7 miles south-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.
Comparing caterers
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deadline for final numbers
- When payment is due
- If the price includes VAT
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Update numbers if they change
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book our van in Notting Hill
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain does not stop the fryers
Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Before you choose a spot

- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
- Light near the van if needed
As a London location, Notting Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Notting Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Notting Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Holland Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you come to Notting Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Notting Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in Notting Hill ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
