Film set catering for your shoot in Toy's Hill
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and treat days on a long shoot.
In Toy's Hill, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning the van’s spot
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:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
Toy's Hill 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
