Film set catering in Dagenham, fried fresh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. We are frequently asked to cater outside broadcasts and crew morale days, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Dagenham, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
