A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for location shoots and stills shoots.
London locations around Wealdstone can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Light in Wealdstone lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- 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 pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

Before you choose a spot

- Lighting for early or late service
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
As a London location, Wealdstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Wealdstone questions
Can the van park in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Wealdstone?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
