Film set catering in Northwick Park
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Winter shoots near Northwick Park chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What affects the price in Northwick Park
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
