Film set catering in Teddington, fried fresh
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater ad shoots and seaside shoots.
In Teddington, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Teddington
Is parking a problem for the van in Teddington?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Teddington?
Teddington station, in Teddington itself.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Who books film set catering in Teddington?
It suits short shoots without a full catering unit.
In Teddington and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Event crews
- End-of-shoot parties
- Location shoots

Nearby historic houses include Strawberry Hill House (0.8 miles north) and Richmond House (1.3 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

- Whether there is a minimum
- What happens if plans change

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Winter shoots near Teddington chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
