South Wimbledon for film and TV crews
South Wimbledon is about 1 mile south-east of Wimbledon, in Greater London. South Wimbledon is well within our area, so your shoot just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Wimbledon station is in South Wimbledon itself.
Wherever your shoot is in SW19, SW20 and SW17, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Gap Road, Mina Road and York Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside South Wimbledon, we also cover Merton (1 mile south-east), Merton Abbey (1 mile south-east), Summerstown (1 mile north-east), Colliers Wood (1 mile east) and Tooting Bec (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (7 miles north-east), City of Westminster (7 miles north), Marylebone (7 miles north), Kensington (6 miles north), St Pancras (8 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (9 miles north-east).

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Name a contact in the production office
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Give us a map or what3words for base
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Occasions we serve in South Wimbledon
Productions book a chip van because crews love it, especially on long shoots.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Wrap celebrations
- Crew lunches at base
- Shoots on location
- Crew treats on long shoot days
Historic houses near South Wimbledon include Southside House (1.6 miles west) and Fulham Palace (3.6 miles north). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- When payment is due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How late numbers can change
Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Daylight is short on winter shoots near South Wimbledon: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
