Film set catering in Roundshaw, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it is seaside shoots and music video shoots, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Roundshaw, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

FAQs for Roundshaw
Which station is closest to Roundshaw?
The closest is Wallington station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Waddon Ponds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges

To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Perfect for your shoot in Roundshaw

- Seaside and period locations
Historic houses near Roundshaw include Addington Palace (3.9 miles east) and Nonsuch Mansion (4.2 miles west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.
What your quote should include
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- When payment is due
- How late numbers can change
- If the price includes VAT
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
