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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- The location’s agreement
- Room for the crew to queue
As a London location, Clay Hill 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 picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Nearby historic houses include Forty Hall (0.7 miles east) and Wyllyotts Manor (5 miles west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Questions from Clay Hill
What’s the nearest station to Clay Hill?
Gordon Hill station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Clay Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Clay Hill is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Clay Hill: sunset is about 3:50pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
