Film set catering for your shoot in Whitehill
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it is unit base lunches and fashion shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Whitehill, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
