Film set catering in Woburn, cooked to order
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and period dramas on location, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Woburn, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

We serve all 73 towns and villages across Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Woburn to Milton Keynes (7 miles away).
Central London is about 41 miles from Woburn. For crew arriving by train, Aspley Guise station is about 2.3 miles away.
Shoots anywhere in MK17 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. Whether your shoot is on Fox Close, Bedford Street and Caswell Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. With the B5704 close by, Woburn is easy for us to reach for your shoot.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- We cover Woburn and the whole of Milton Keynes
- Something for crew to gather round
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or MK17 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Crew generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In December, daylight in Woburn ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Get a quote
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
