We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. For stills shoots and outside broadcasts, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Shoots in Tottenham frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Crew catering near Tottenham
Tottenham is about 6 miles north-east of Marylebone, in Greater London. We cover Tottenham as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Tottenham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 7 miles away.
With the A10 nearby, Tottenham is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Historic houses near Tottenham include Bruce Castle (less than half a mile west) and Sutton House (3.5 miles south). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in N17, N15 and N18, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. From New Road, High Road and Reed Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A10, Tottenham is simple for us to get to.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
As a London location, Tottenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
