About our film set catering in Chartway Street
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and lunch at the unit base, with pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Chartway Street, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
