Film set catering for your shoot in Beltring
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and wrap parties.
Near Beltring, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Other occasions in Beltring
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
