Fresh fish and chips in St George's Fields
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How our film set catering works in St George's Fields
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and event crews.
London locations around St George's Fields can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Light in St George's Fields lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us

St George's Fields: your questions answered
Can the van park in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to St George's Fields?
St George's Fields has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
