Film set catering for your shoot in South Lambeth
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For shoots on location and crew treats on long shoot days, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Shoots in South Lambeth frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Where the van can park in South Lambeth
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- The location’s agreement
As a London location, South Lambeth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, daylight in South Lambeth ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
