Film set catering in Woldingham, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and stills shoots, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Woldingham, check tracks and ground for the van. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. On a winter shoot near Woldingham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Which station is closest to Woldingham?

Can you park on the road outside?

What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
