Film set catering in Pitshanger, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for location shoots and lunch at the unit base.
In Pitshanger, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission for the van at base
- Access checked by locations
- Room for the crew to queue
As a London location, Pitshanger is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
