How our film set catering works in Weddington
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and live events and broadcasts.
Near Weddington, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

For event organisers in Weddington
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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Questions from Weddington
Which station is closest to Weddington?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is Weddington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- Room for the crew to queue
- Light near the van if needed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, daylight in Weddington ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
