Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Put allergy details in writing
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Film set catering for your shoot in Stanmore
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for music video shoots and location filming.
Rural locations near Stanmore can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before booking
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
What affects the price in Stanmore
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Common questions in Stanmore
Is Stanmore close to London?

Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Light in Stanmore lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
