How our film set catering works in Wotton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater ad shoots and event crews.
For a shoot in a place like Wotton, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Wotton questions
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Wotton?
Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Wotton?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where does the van go on location?
Normally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
