Forest Park questions
Is Forest Park close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Forest Park?
Martins Heron station, in Forest Park itself.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you come to Forest Park?
Yes, we do. Forest Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Working with your venue
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 frequently 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’ll confirm what we can provide.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Allergies and dietary needs

A short menu keeps the line moving.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, daylight in Forest Park ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
