Questions from Victoria
Could you trade in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Victoria?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
Film set catering in Victoria, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch at the unit base and seaside shoots.
Shoots in Victoria frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Permission for the van at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Victoria 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.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, Victoria has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
