The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include location shoots and live events and broadcasts, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Shoots in Greenford often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. On a winter shoot near Greenford, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- A clear route to base
As a London location, Greenford 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.

- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
