Film set catering for your shoot in Westfield
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Whether it is live events and broadcasts and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Westfield, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Share the base location and route
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Long summer days in Westfield, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Westfield: your questions answered
Is Westfield close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Westfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
