Film set catering for Brent Cross events
How our film set catering works in Brent Cross
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it is lunch at the unit base and shoots on location, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
London locations around Brent Cross can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Brent Cross: your questions answered
Can the van park in Clarefield Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Brent Cross?
Brent Cross West station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Brent Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brent Cross?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
