Belmont for film and TV crews
Belmont is about 1 mile south-west of Stanmore, in Greater London. For shoots in Belmont, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Belmont. We serve 764 places across Greater London. We serve events right across the region, from Belmont to London (about 12 miles away).
Historic houses near Belmont include Headstone Manor (1.6 miles west) and Northolt Manor (4.5 miles south-west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.
Here we cover the HA3 and HA7 postcode area, and we can serve your shoot anywhere in it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as The Avenue, Locket Road and Church Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. For shoots just outside Belmont, we cover Harrow Weald (1 mile west), Stanmore (1 mile north-east), Headstone (2 miles west), Brockley Hill (2 miles north-east) and Hatch End (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include London (12 miles south-east), City of Westminster (9 miles south-east), Marylebone (9 miles south-east), Kensington (9 miles south-east), St Pancras (10 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Hilfield Castle (3.7 miles north) and St. Anns (1.6 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Northala Fields and Stanmore Country Park.
- Nearby schools include Park High School (0.7 miles east) and Whitchurch Junior School (0.8 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Duck in the Pond pub (within half a mile north-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Level, firm ground at base
- The location’s agreement
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Belmont is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, daylight in Belmont ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Belmont: your questions answered
Can the van park in Canons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Belmont?
Harrow & Wealdstone station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cover Belmont?
We do. We serve events in Belmont and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
