FAQs for Southfields
What’s the nearest station to Southfields?
Southfields has its own station: Earlsfield station.
Can the van park in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How our film set catering works in Southfields
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. For fashion shoots on location and seaside shoots, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Shoots in Southfields often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For event organisers in Southfields
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Southfields? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Southfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
