Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How our film set catering works in Paddington Green
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will adjust where we can. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and stills shoots.
Shoots in Paddington Green frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Paddington Green
What about parking in Paddington Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Paddington Green?
London Paddington station, in Paddington Green itself.
Do you come to Paddington Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Paddington Green is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
