Film set catering for your shoot in Upper Clatford
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and event crews, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Upper Clatford 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.

We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
