Planning a shoot in Blendon
Blendon is about 1 mile south-east of Welling, in Greater London. Wherever your shoot is in the DA5 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We serve 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Blendon to London (10 miles away).
For cast and crew travelling by train, the closest railway station is Albany Park station, roughly 0.8 miles south of the centre. Blendon is on or near the A221, good for unit base access.
We take the van to shoots all over the DA5, DA15 and DA6 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Penn Lane, Hurst Road and Brook Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A221 close by, Blendon is easy for us to reach with the van.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Blendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
FAQs for Blendon
Can the van park in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Blendon?
Albany Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you come to Blendon?
Yes, we do. Blendon is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, daylight in Blendon ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
