Film set catering for Langley Common events
Film set catering in Langley Common, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For event crews and ad shoots, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Langley Common, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In December, daylight in Langley Common ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
