Film set catering in Nunhead, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and music video shoots.
In Nunhead, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission for the van at base
- Space in front of the hatch
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
Nunhead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch

- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas

Questions from Nunhead
Could you trade in Peckham Rye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Nunhead?
Nunhead has its own station: Nunhead station.
Can the van come to Nunhead?
We do. Nunhead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
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. On a winter shoot near Nunhead, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
