Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A clear route to base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About our film set catering in Souldern
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. For treat days on a long shoot and ad shoots, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Souldern can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from Souldern
What’s the nearest station to Souldern?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Souldern too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot in Souldern. Winter shoots near Souldern chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
Ask for a quote
