About our film set catering in Plaistow Green
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for wrap celebrations and live events and broadcasts.
Near Plaistow Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

- 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 serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.

Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a 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. 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.
