Film set catering for your shoot in Littlestone-on-Sea
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We are frequently asked to cater stills shoots and music video shoots, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Littlestone-on-Sea can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
