Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
North Brixton 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for North Brixton
Can the van park in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Brixton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
