How our film set catering works in Salford
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Whether it’s unit base lunches and music video shoots, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Salford, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
