How our film set catering works in Pinner Green
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We’re frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and fashion shoots on location, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Pinner Green, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Questions from Pinner Green
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Pinner Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van come to Pinner Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Pinner Green. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Long summer days in Pinner Green, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
