Film set catering in South Warnborough
Film set catering in South Warnborough, cooked to order
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it is photo shoots and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near South Warnborough can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Share the base location and route
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send final numbers the day before
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Plan bins at the unit base.
