Cafe Allez! had a truly memorable day on Friday as Van Henri spent a day filming for Channel 4 in London…

At this stage we can’t share pictures of the filming process or tell you much about the project but we’ll release more news when we’re authorised.

What we can tell you:  Van Henri was playing the part of a mobile coffee shop, (typecast again!), in Kensington Park.  He’s the main setting for a key scene in the film.

What else can we tell you?  Well – the film will be broadcast in March and features probably the finest actor of our generation, who was a pleasure to serve…

We can also tell you that the filming process was a lot of fun, but hard work for cast and crew… 1 days’ filming (12 hours) equating to just a few minutes of final screen time.

The Citroen HY van / Citroen H van is an iconic vehicle and Henri in particular is a great choice for hire for filming and similar projects because a) he’s in such fine fettle, b) he is in quite a neutral colour and c) our Cafe Allez! branding can be easily removed to enable a whole new identity … as seen here …

We can also report that Henri behaved impeccably in the cut and thrust of central London traffic…
