Sorry. No way Fatty McRapist is getting into a catering cart. Maybe the back of a catering van. Assuming you bleach it before putting food back in it.

It sounds like it was like a wheeled trolley you'd see in a hotel hallway, but I think it was actually a cargo container of some sort used to load catering cargo on and off the plane. Although I'm not completely dismissing the image of him crouched under a tablecloth being wheeled down the tarmac by a butler concealing an MP5.
