How our film set catering works in Regents Park
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for location filming and seaside shoots.
Around Regents Park, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Other occasions in Regents Park
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot. In December, daylight in Regents Park ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time

Regents Park questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
