How our film set catering works in Wooburn Common
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We’re frequently asked to cater crew lunches at base and end-of-shoot parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Wooburn Common, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Light in Wooburn Common lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
