Film set catering in Throwley Forstal, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For fashion shoots on location and music video shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Throwley Forstal can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Who clears up?
