Fresh fish and chips in Round Street
How our film set catering works in Round Street
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for live events and broadcasts and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Round Street, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Round Street?
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Round Street: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Round Street?
Sole Street station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
How far is Round Street from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Winter shoots near Round Street chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
