How our film set catering works in Waddesdon
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater crew treats on long shoot days and unit base lunches.
Near Waddesdon, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree how the base is left
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
