Film set catering in Sinkhurst Green, fried fresh
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for outside broadcasts and shoots on location.
Rural locations near Sinkhurst Green can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
