Film set catering in Wood Green
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, daylight in Wood Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Film set catering for your shoot in Wood Green
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For crew lunches at base and period dramas on location, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In Wood Green, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Update numbers if they change
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
- The location’s agreement
Wood Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
