How our film set catering works in Brook Green
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. We’re often asked to cater unit base lunches and photo shoots, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In Brook Green, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Space, access and the venue
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
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Brook Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Name a contact in the production office
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why choose film set catering in Brook Green?
Productions book a chip van because crews love it.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:

Brook Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Brook Green?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in St Paul's Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Brook Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- 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 set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
