Film set catering in Brentford, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We are often asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and music video shoots, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Brentford, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Brentford for film and TV crews
Brentford is about 2 miles south of Ealing, in Greater London. For shoots in Brentford, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
For cast and crew travelling by train, Brentford station is in Brentford itself. The A4 and A315 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Brentford.
Wherever your shoot is in TW8, W3, W4 and W5, we can fry fresh for your crew. Whether your shoot is on High Street, Market Place and New Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Share the base location and route
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
- Level, firm ground at base
Brentford 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Location filming
- Music video shoots

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Brentford
Can the van park in Kew Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Brentford?
Brentford station, in Brentford itself.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Brentford?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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 is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. On a winter shoot near Brentford, 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.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
