Film set catering in Upper Edmonton, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and crew treats on long shoot days, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots in Upper Edmonton often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Agree how the base is left
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Upper Edmonton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
