Film set catering for Hounslow West events
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
