Film set catering for Wormley events
For event organisers in Wormley
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How our film set catering works in Wormley
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We’re frequently asked to cater stills shoots and unit base lunches, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Wormley, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Wormley
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Wormley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover Wormley and the whole of Surrey
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
