Shooting in Old Wolverton: unit bases and access
Old Wolverton is about 3 miles north-west of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. From the centre of Old Wolverton to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 73 towns and villages across Milton Keynes.
For cast and crew travelling by train, Wolverton station is about 0.9 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Linford Manor (2.9 miles east). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

We also serve nearby towns such as Milton Keynes (3 miles south-east), Bletchley (6 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (4 miles east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (6 miles south-east), Furzton (5 miles south-east) and Middleton (5 miles east).

- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Old Wolverton: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day

What else we do in Old Wolverton
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
