Film set catering in West Green, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For location shoots and live events and broadcasts, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
London locations around West Green can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for West Green
Can the van park in Downhills Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to West Green?
Seven Sisters station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
West Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Service time
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
For event organisers in West Green
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Daylight is short on winter shoots near West Green: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- 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
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree how the base is left
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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’s crisp.
