About our film set catering in Upper Norwood
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it is live events and broadcasts and treat days on a long shoot, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
In Upper Norwood, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Where the van can park in Upper Norwood
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Light near the van if needed
As a London location, Upper Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your crew already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Upper Norwood
Which station is closest to Upper Norwood?
Gipsy Hill station, in Upper Norwood itself.
Can the van park in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What affects the price in Upper Norwood
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
