Film set catering for Notting Dale events
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. On a winter shoot near Notting Dale, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Notting Dale is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Agree how the base is left
- Share the base location and route
A short menu keeps the line moving.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
