Film set catering for your shoot in Stoke Newington

London locations around Stoke Newington can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning a shoot in Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington is about 2 miles north-west of Hackney, in Greater London. People in Stoke Newington book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Stoke Newington is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
With the A503 and B104 nearby, Stoke Newington is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Among the historic houses close to Stoke Newington are Sutton House (1.7 miles south-east) and Bruce Castle (2.5 miles north). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Anywhere in N16 and N4, we can bring the van to you. From Schonfeld Square, Stoke Newington High Street and Lordship Terrace or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. You will find Stoke Newington on the A503 and B104, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include West Hackney (1 mile east), Stamford Hill (1 mile north-east), Newington Green (1 mile south), Manor House (1 mile north-west) and Shacklewell (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles south), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (4 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-west) and Shoreditch (3 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Leabridge (1.4 miles east) and German Hospital (1.3 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Woodberry Wetlands and Hollow Pond.
- Local schools include Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form (less than half a mile south) and Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form (under half a mile south)
- Pubs nearby include Rose and Crown pub (under half a mile south)
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Stoke Newington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Long summer days in Stoke Newington, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- 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
