About our film set catering in Micklefield
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater outside broadcasts and location shoots.
Shoots around Micklefield often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
