How our film set catering works in Westminster
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for wrap celebrations and treat days on a long shoot.
London locations around Westminster can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Related guides
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote

Common questions in Westminster
Which station is closest to Westminster?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Could you trade in St James's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Where the van can park in Westminster
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, Westminster is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 before booking.
