Film set catering in Queen's Park, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. For music video shoots and seaside and period locations, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
London locations around Queen's Park can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What affects the price in Queen's Park
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Queen's Park: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Queen's Park?
Queens Park (London) station, in Queen's Park itself.
Can the van park in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van if needed
- Level, firm ground at base
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, Queen's Park 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.
On the menu in Queen's Park
- Crew lunches

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light in Queen's Park lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
