Adelphi is on or near the A301 and A400, good for unit base access. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Adelphi has its own station, London Charing Cross station.
We serve shoots across the W1D, W1F and WC2H postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include York Road, Drury Lane and Maiden Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Adelphi?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
