Film set catering for your shoot in Sutton
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for wrap celebrations and music video shoots.
Near Sutton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
