Film set catering in Wimbledon Park, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside and period locations and unit base lunches.
Shoots in Wimbledon Park frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Wimbledon Park, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Wimbledon Park
Is parking a problem for the van in Wimbledon Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
