What else we do in Heath Park
Common questions in Heath Park
Is parking a problem for the van in Heath Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Haynes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you park at the unit base?
Typically, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Heath Park.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Update numbers if they change
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What you get with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- Something for crew to gather round
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your shoot in Heath Park. In December, daylight in Heath Park ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why choose film set catering in Heath Park?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers.
Whatever the occasion in Heath Park, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Crew morale days
- Photo shoots
- Period dramas on location
- Ad shoots
Historic houses near Heath Park include Hare Hall (0.8 miles north-east) and Rainham Hall (3.9 miles south). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Questions to ask before you book
- How late numbers can change
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How allergens are handled
- Whether travel is included
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
