What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear route to base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, Queensbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How our film set catering works in Queensbury
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew lunches at base and shoots on location.
In Queensbury, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

Questions from Queensbury
Could you trade in Roe Green Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Queensbury?
The closest is Kenton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can the van come to Queensbury?
We do. Queensbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 generally simpler.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your shoot. On a winter shoot near Queensbury, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
