How our film set catering works in Harmondsworth
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it is wrap celebrations and event crews, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
In Harmondsworth, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
As a London location, Harmondsworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Common questions in Harmondsworth
Which station is closest to Harmondsworth?
The closest is Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, roughly 1 mile away.
What about parking in Harmondsworth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Harmondsworth? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
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.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In December, daylight in Harmondsworth ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
