DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac crew
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. In December, daylight in Brent Park ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time

- We cover Brent Park and the whole of Greater London
- Something for crew to gather round
