FAQs for Sudbury Hill
Can the van park in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Sudbury Hill?
Sudbury Hill has its own station: Sudbury & Harrow Road station.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
About our film set catering in Sudbury Hill

For event organisers in Sudbury Hill
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A clear route to base
As a London location, Sudbury Hill 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 before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, Sudbury Hill has light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
