What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Enfield Island Village: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.

Where the van can park in Enfield Island Village
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Enfield Island Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
