Film set catering in Weeke, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We’re frequently asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and end-of-shoot parties, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Weeke, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Light in Weeke lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
