Film set catering in Staples Corner, fried fresh
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew treats on long shoot days and location filming.
In Staples Corner, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Long summer days in Staples Corner, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat

FAQs for Staples Corner
What’s the nearest station to Staples Corner?
Brent Cross West station, in Staples Corner itself.
What about parking in Staples Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Staples Corner.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- The location’s agreement
Staples Corner 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
