Shooting in Southwark: unit bases and access
Southwark is about 0 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. Shoots in Southwark are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Southwark is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Nearby historic houses include Mansion House (0.9 miles north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.1 miles north-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. The A300 and B240 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Southwark.
This part of Greater London takes in SE1 and SE11. From Borough Square, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Southwark sits on or near the A300 and B240, which makes travel to your shoot easy. Close by, we cover shoots in Tower Hill (1 mile north-east), City of London (1 mile north), Aldgate (1 mile north-east), Bishopsgate (1 mile north-east) and Barbican Estate (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to City of Westminster (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west) and Brompton (3 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include County of London (1.1 miles north) and Baynard's Castle (0.8 miles north). Open spaces near Southwark include Ludgate Hill and Bellenden Road Nature Garden.
- Local schools include London School of Musical Theatre (less than half a mile south-west) and Ark Globe Academy (within half a mile south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Gladstone Arms (under half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include The BFI Reuben Library (0.9 miles north-west)
About our film set catering in Southwark
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it’s event crews and end-of-shoot parties, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In Southwark, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Southwark is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Southwark?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Quick service from the hatch

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Winter shoots near Southwark chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
