Film set catering for your shoot in Woolwich
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. For photo shoots and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Woolwich, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. On a winter shoot near Woolwich, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Update numbers if they change

Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Woolwich: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Woolwich?
Woolwich has its own station: Woolwich Dockyard station.
Can the van park in Woolwich Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you come to Woolwich?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Woolwich is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
