Film set catering in Bells Yew Green
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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.
How our film set catering works in Bells Yew Green
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. We are frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and seaside shoots, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Bells Yew Green, check tracks and ground for the van. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
