Film set catering for Snaresbrook events
How our film set catering works in Snaresbrook
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include ad shoots and wrap parties, with cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Shoots in Snaresbrook often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, daylight in Snaresbrook ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, Snaresbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
