About our film set catering in Hollington
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it is seaside and period locations and ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Hollington, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
