Book the van in Holbrook
Film set catering in Holbrook, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. For shoots on location and ad shoots, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Holbrook can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
