About our film set catering in Walthamstow
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include live events and broadcasts and lunch at the unit base, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Walthamstow, 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.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Walthamstow is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route to base
- Permission for the van at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
Walthamstow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Walthamstow

- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
