Film set catering for your shoot in College Park
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. For wrap parties and period dramas on location, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In College Park, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Put allergy details in writing
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Occasions we serve in College Park
It needs no kitchen on location, just a spot at the unit base.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Commercials and music videos
- Treat days on a long shoot
- End-of-shoot parties
- Location filming
Nearby historic houses include Leighton House (2.6 miles south-east) and Sambourne House (2.7 miles south-east). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. 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 will confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter shoots near College Park chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
