About our film set catering in Well End
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot parties and location filming, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Well End can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Light in Well End lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.

Getting ready for the day
