A chip van near Seething Wells
Film set catering in Seething Wells, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. For shoots on location and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Shoots in Seething Wells often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Seething Wells
Can the van park in Hampton Court Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

Surbiton station, in Seething Wells itself.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
How much space do you need?

What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Other occasions in Seething Wells
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
