Planning an event in Maids Moreton?
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Film set catering for your shoot in Maids Moreton
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Whether it is shoots on location and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Maids Moreton, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Permission for the van at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Maids Moreton questions
Do you come out to small places like Maids Moreton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Maids Moreton from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What affects the price in Maids Moreton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
