Film set catering in Rowley Green, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include live events and broadcasts and period dramas on location, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Rowley Green, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Long summer days in Rowley Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- 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 set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, 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.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Questions from Rowley Green
What about parking in Rowley Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Rowley Green?
Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
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:
- The location’s agreement
- Lighting for early or late service
- A queue area clear of trucks
Rowley Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
