Fresh fish and chips in Nuneham Courtenay
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Film set catering in Nuneham Courtenay, cooked to order
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it’s shoots on location and period dramas on location, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural locations near Nuneham Courtenay can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
