Film set catering in Church Hougham, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater shoots on location and crew treats on long shoot days.
Rural locations near Church Hougham can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

We serve events right across the region, from Church Hougham to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Church Hougham is roughly 64 miles from central London. Church Hougham is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
