Film set catering in Danesfield, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for treat days on a long shoot and period dramas on location.
Rural locations near Danesfield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges

- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
