Film set catering in Longmoor, cooked to order
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it is period dramas on location and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Longmoor, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
