How our film set catering works in Hurlingham
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For crew treats on long shoot days and event crews, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Hurlingham often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
As a London location, Hurlingham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
