Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A clear route to base
As a London location, London Fields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

London Fields: your questions answered
Can the van park in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to London Fields?
London Fields has its own station: London Fields station.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. On a winter shoot near London Fields, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Update numbers if they change
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What you get with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
