How our film set catering works in Warden
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for photo shoots and event crews.
Near Warden, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in Warden
Is Warden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Warden close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot. On a winter shoot near Warden, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
