Film set catering in Hanworth
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
As a London location, Hanworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Hanworth
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

FAQs for Hanworth
Is parking a problem for the van in Hanworth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Crane Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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 comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, Hanworth has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why Hanworth hosts choose us
- Classic food your crew already know
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before you book
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
