Planning an event in Moorhouse Bank?
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Film set catering for your shoot in Moorhouse Bank
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. Whether it is period dramas on location and photo shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Moorhouse Bank frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Moorhouse Bank: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about parking in Moorhouse Bank?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you come to Moorhouse Bank?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Moorhouse Bank. For a quote, use our quote form.

A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Why choose film set catering in Moorhouse Bank?

In Moorhouse Bank and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

- Seaside and period locations
- Wrap parties
- Treat days on a long shoot
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Hurst Green station, about 2.2 miles south-west, is the nearest station.

- A clear list of what’s included

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Share the base location and route
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send final numbers the day before
- Agree how the base is left
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Moorhouse Bank, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
