How our film set catering works in Northfields
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for unit base lunches and crew treats on long shoot days.
In Northfields, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

FAQs for Northfields
Which station is closest to Northfields?
The closest is Brentford station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van park in Lammas Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter shoots near Northfields chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you are 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
