Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Isleworth: your questions answered
What about parking in Isleworth?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Old Deer Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Isleworth.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Isleworth hosts choose us

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Winter shoots near Isleworth chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Have a back-up for special diets
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van if needed
- Permission for the van at base
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Isleworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
