How our film set catering works in Woodside
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and outside broadcasts, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots in Woodside often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Woodside is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Woodside? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Woodside?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cover Woodside and the whole of Greater London
- Something for crew to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Where the van can park in Woodside
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
Woodside 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.

After service, we pack up and get out of the way.

Woodside: your questions answered
What about parking in Woodside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
