Film set catering in Edgware, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it is location shoots and fashion shoots on location, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Shoots in Edgware often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A clear route to base
As a London location, Edgware is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Agree how the base is left
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, daylight in Edgware ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
