About our film set catering in Enfield
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We’re often asked to cater music video shoots and wrap celebrations, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Enfield, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Give us a map or what3words for base
Used oil leaves with the van.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Enfield?
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Take a look at our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What else we do in Enfield
Shooting in Enfield: unit bases and access
Enfield is about 9 miles north of St Pancras, in Greater London. In and around Enfield, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Enfield has its own station, Enfield Town station. Among the historic houses close to Enfield are Forty Hall (1.3 miles north-east) and Bruce Castle (3.7 miles south). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in EN1, EN2 and N21, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. That could mean a shoot at a home on Lea Road, Farr Road and Cecil Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Enfield is on the A110, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Bush Hill Park (1 mile south-east), Bush Hill (1 mile south), Enfield Chase (1 mile west), Gordon Hill (1 mile north) and Forty Hill (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (11 miles south), City of Westminster (10 miles south), Marylebone (10 miles south), Kensington (12 miles south-west), St Pancras (9 miles south) and Shoreditch (9 miles south).
A little further out are St Michaels Hospital (0.7 miles north) and Museum of Enfield (within half a mile south). Open spaces near Enfield include Bowyer's Water and Pole Hill.
- Schools near Enfield include St Andrew's CofE Primary School (within half a mile north) and Grange Park Preparatory School (1 mile south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Kings Head pub (under half a mile west)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Enfield (1.3 miles north)
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Permission for the van at base
Enfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your shoot in Enfield. Winter shoots near Enfield chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
