Film set catering for your shoot in Woolage Village
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include music video shoots and end-of-shoot parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Woolage Village, tracks and soft ground need checking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Woolage Village is about 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day

FAQs for Woolage Village
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Woolage Village close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Update numbers if they change
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Share the base location and route
- Confirm allergies by email
Used oil leaves with the van.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
