Film set catering for your shoot in Surbiton Park
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for lunch at the unit base and music video shoots.
In Surbiton Park, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- The location’s agreement
Surbiton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. On a winter shoot near Surbiton Park, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
