How our film set catering works in Colliers Green
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew morale days and wrap celebrations.
Near Colliers Green, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- The location’s agreement
- Space in front of the hatch
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings

Colliers Green: your questions answered
Is Colliers Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in The Gill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in Colliers Green
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Colliers Green is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
