Planning an event in Woodgreen?
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Film set catering in Woodgreen, cooked to order
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we will adjust where we can. Whether it is event crews and photo shoots, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Woodgreen, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
