Fresh fish and chips in Hillingdon
Film set catering in Hillingdon, cooked to order
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. Whether it is crew lunches at base and end-of-shoot parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Shoots in Hillingdon often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hillingdon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch
- The location’s agreement
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Hillingdon 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’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree how the base is left
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
