Film set catering in Dogmersfield, cooked to order
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re frequently asked to cater crew morale days and wrap celebrations, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Dogmersfield can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Dogmersfield: your questions answered
Is Dogmersfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Calthorpe Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
