About our film set catering in Kingsbury
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. Whether it’s lunch at the unit base and live events and broadcasts, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Kingsbury, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Where the van can park in Kingsbury
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Kingsbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
