Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. For seaside and period locations and fashion shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
