Film set catering in North Hyde
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Permission for the van at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
As a London location, North Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in North Hyde

Film set catering in North Hyde, cooked to order
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. Typical bookings include seaside shoots and location shoots, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots in North Hyde frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

More for events in North Hyde
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Share the base location and route
- Update numbers if they change
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
North Hyde: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to North Hyde?
Southall station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
What about parking in North Hyde?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
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 service around it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Light in North Hyde lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
