Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. On a winter shoot near Brentford End, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. 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.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
As a London location, Brentford End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
