About our film set catering in Winkfield
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are frequently asked to cater ad shoots and treat days on a long shoot, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Winkfield can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Winkfield: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Winkfield?
Ascot station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Winkfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to Winkfield?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Winkfield and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
