Film set catering in Moor Street, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and music video shoots, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Moor Street, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
Used oil leaves with the van.
Plan bins at the unit base.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Moor Street questions
Do you come out to small places like Moor Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before you book.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Moor Street: sunset is about 3:50pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
