Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Sewardstonebury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Update numbers if they change
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Sewardstonebury chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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 a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
