How our film set catering works in Enborne Row
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater event crews and wrap celebrations.
Near Enborne Row, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Enborne Row questions
Is Enborne Row close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Enborne Row 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.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
