About our film set catering in East Hagbourne
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For fashion shoots on location and music video shoots, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near East Hagbourne, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
