About our film set catering in Selhurst
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For unit base lunches and event crews, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Selhurst often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
