Film set catering for Lea Bridge events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
About our film set catering in Lea Bridge
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater wrap celebrations and crew morale days.
In Lea Bridge, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Where the van can park in Lea Bridge
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Lighting for early or late service
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Lea Bridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Send final numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Lea Bridge is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
