Slade Green questions
Can the van park in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Slade Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Film set catering for your shoot in Slade Green
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For stills shoots and wrap parties, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Slade Green frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What affects the price in Slade Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Slade Green hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- The location’s agreement
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Slade Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
