Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Confirm allergies by email
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Neasden questions
What about parking in Neasden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Gladstone Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why book our van in Neasden
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
