Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it’s photo shoots and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Shoots in Westbourne often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Within reach of Westbourne are historic houses such as Kensington Palace (0.8 miles south-east) and Sambourne House (1.1 miles south).

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge

Westbourne: your questions answered
What about parking in Westbourne?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you come to Westbourne?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Westbourne is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Westbourne?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.

- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
