Film set catering in Clifton Reynes, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We’re often asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and crew morale days, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Near Clifton Reynes, check tracks and ground for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
