Film set catering for your shoot in Streatham
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for lunch at the unit base and period dramas on location.
In Streatham, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Winter shoots near Streatham chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Streatham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

Streatham is on or near the A205 and A216, good for unit base access. Within reach of Streatham are historic houses such as Kingswood House (2 miles east) and Carlyle's House (4.3 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Streatham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
