A chip van near Marehill
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
Film set catering in Marehill, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We’re often asked to cater live events and broadcasts and ad shoots, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Marehill, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
