Book the van in Perry Vale
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Film set catering in Perry Vale, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include location shoots and treat days on a long shoot, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Perry Vale, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Perry Vale
Is parking a problem for the van in Perry Vale?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Perry Vale?
The closest is Forest Hill station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in Perry Vale ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
