Film set catering in Woolage Green, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot parties and photo shoots.
Near Woolage Green, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Woolage Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Where the van can park in Woolage Green
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Room for the crew to queue
- A clear route to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips

- Mushy peas

A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Long summer days in Woolage Green, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
