The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. Light in Primrose Hill lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Why choose a fish and chip van in Primrose Hill?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A clear quote before you book
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Light near the van if needed
- Access checked by locations
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
