About our film set catering in Three Mills
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For lunch at the unit base and location shoots, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Three Mills, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Three Mills?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Agree how the base is left
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Confirm allergies by email
- Confirm numbers the day before
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What happens on the day
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 at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Three Mills ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Space in front of the hatch
Three Mills is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
