Film set catering for your shoot in Tangley
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and photo shoots, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Tangley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Working with your venue

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
