A chip van near Coombe
For event organisers in Coombe
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Film set catering in Coombe, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We’re often asked to cater crew lunches at base and outside broadcasts, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Coombe can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Permission for the van at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
