How our film set catering works in Holme Green
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Whether it is treat days on a long shoot and crew lunches at base, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Holme Green, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
