Film set catering in Pamber Heath, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Whether it’s location shoots and outside broadcasts, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Pamber Heath, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose film set catering in Pamber Heath?
Service is quick from the hatch with a short menu.
