We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for shoots on location and commercials and music videos.
Shoots in Wimbledon Chase frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission.

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. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Agree how the base is left
- Send final numbers the day before
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
