About our film set catering in Euston
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. Whether it is stills shoots and end-of-shoot parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Shoots in Euston often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Light in Euston lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

What else we do in Euston
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Update numbers if they change
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree the waste plan with locations
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Lighting for early or late service
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
As a London location, Euston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Euston: your questions answered
Could you trade in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Euston?
London Euston station, in Euston itself.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
