Film set catering in Osterley, fried fresh
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. For shoots on location and fashion shoots on location, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Osterley frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For event organisers in Osterley
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Osterley? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Questions from Osterley
What’s the nearest station to Osterley?
Isleworth station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Long summer days in Osterley, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van

- Agree how the base is left
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
