Fresh fish and chips in Maxton
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, daylight in Maxton ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in

How our film set catering works in Maxton
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and seaside and period locations.
Rural locations near Maxton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the base location and route
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A quote that spells everything out
