Film set catering in Warnham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Film set catering in Warnham, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and shoots on location, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Warnham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
