Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater period dramas on location and wrap parties.
Near Dorney, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
