Film set catering in St Pancras, cooked to order
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. For end-of-shoot parties and crew treats on long shoot days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In St Pancras, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Share the base location and route
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
For event organisers in St Pancras
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. 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.

FAQs for St Pancras
What’s the nearest station to St Pancras?
London Kings Cross station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
What about parking in St Pancras?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, daylight in St Pancras ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in
