Fresh fish and chips in Raynes Park
Film set catering for your shoot in Raynes Park
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We are often asked to cater period dramas on location and music video shoots, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Raynes Park, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
