Film set catering in Tokyngton
How our film set catering works in Tokyngton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For live events and broadcasts and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Tokyngton, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree how the base is left
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm numbers the day before
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Tokyngton?

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Tokyngton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Level, firm ground at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
As a London location, Tokyngton 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
