Film set catering in Acton Green, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. For end-of-shoot parties and lunch at the unit base, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Acton Green, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Acton Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Acton Green?
Acton Green has its own station: South Acton station.
Can the van park in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you come to Acton Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Acton Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter shoots near Acton Green chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
