How our film set catering works in West Twyford
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for music video shoots and unit base lunches.
In West Twyford, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
As a London location, West Twyford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
