About our film set catering in Broughton
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and wrap parties, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Broughton, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book our van in Broughton

Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
