About our film set catering in Ashton Green
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and unit base lunches, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Ashton Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
