How our film set catering works in Stanmore
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. Typical bookings include event crews and stills shoots, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots in Stanmore often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Update numbers if they change
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Light in Stanmore lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access checked by locations
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Stanmore is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Stanmore
What about parking in Stanmore?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Canons Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Shooting in Stanmore: unit bases and access
Stanmore is in Greater London. Give us the address of your shoot in Stanmore, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Stanmore is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Stanmore to London (about 12 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Harrow & Wealdstone station, about 1.9 miles south-west. Nearby historic houses include Headstone Manor (2.5 miles south-west). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
We take the van to shoots all over the HA7, HA8 and HA3 postcode area. Local streets include Church Road, London Road and Edgware Road High Street; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You’ll find Stanmore on the A410 and B461, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. For shoots just outside Stanmore, we cover Belmont (1 mile south-west), Brockley Hill (1 mile north), Harrow Weald (2 miles west), Headstone (3 miles west) and Hatch End (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (12 miles south-east), City of Westminster (9 miles south-east), Marylebone (9 miles south-east), Kensington (9 miles south-east), St Pancras (10 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles south-east).

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
