Film set catering in Eastbury, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for ad shoots and period dramas on location.
In Eastbury, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
Planning a shoot in Eastbury
Eastbury is in Greater London. In and around Eastbury, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your crew. Eastbury is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 16 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Eastbury are Headstone Manor (3.2 miles south-east) and Ickenham Hall (4.2 miles south). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Shoots anywhere in HA6 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Your shoot could be at a house on Altair Way, Capella Road and Avior Drive or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Close by, we cover shoots in Northwood (1 mile south-west), Moor Park (1 mile west) and Holywell (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (13 miles south-east), Marylebone (14 miles south-east), Kensington (12 miles south-east), St Pancras (14 miles south-east), Hoxton (15 miles south-east) and Hampstead (11 miles south-east).

- Schools near Eastbury include St Martins School Northwood (0.8 miles west) and Heathrow Aviation Engineering UTC (1.2 miles south)
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
As a London location, Eastbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In December, daylight in Eastbury ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
