Film set catering in Penton Corner, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fashion shoots on location and crew morale days.
For a shoot in a place like Penton Corner, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
