Film set catering for your shoot in Upper Street
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for live events and broadcasts and end-of-shoot parties.
Near Upper Street, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, Upper Street has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Upper Street
Is Upper Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to base?

What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
