About our film set catering in Newport Pagnell
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. For seaside shoots and stills shoots, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Shoots in Newport Pagnell frequently base in car parks. A chip van fits right in. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter shoots near Newport Pagnell chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Update numbers if they change
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Used oil leaves with the van.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
