A chip van near Stockwell
What affects the price in Stockwell
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How our film set catering works in Stockwell
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are often asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and crew lunches at base, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Stockwell, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Long summer days in Stockwell, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Stockwell
Can the van park in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Stockwell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Level, firm ground at base
- A clear route to base
Stockwell is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
