A chip van near Walthamstow Village
Film set catering in Walthamstow Village, cooked to order
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch at the unit base and crew treats on long shoot days.
In Walthamstow Village, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Permission for the van at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Agree how the base is left
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
