About our film set catering in Maze Hill
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For crew lunches at base and stills shoots, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
London locations around Maze Hill can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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 confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Update numbers if they change
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Plan bins at the unit base.
