About our film set catering in Woodnesborough
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fashion shoots on location and shoots on location.
Near Woodnesborough, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
