Film set catering for your shoot in Newton Leys
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Typical bookings include music video shoots and crew lunches at base, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Around Newton Leys, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from Newton Leys
Can the van park in Waterhall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Newton Leys?
Bletchley station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Permission for the van at base
- Light near the van if needed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
