Film set catering in Single Street, fried fresh
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For period dramas on location and wrap parties, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
London locations around Single Street can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Single Street questions
Which station is closest to Single Street?
Chelsfield station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

What else we do in Single Street
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. On a winter shoot near Single Street, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
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.
What affects the price in Single Street
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Events in Single Street and across Greater London

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Access checked by locations
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Single Street is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
