Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree how the base is left
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send the unit base address and directions
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Film set catering for your shoot in Morestead
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. We are often asked to cater stills shoots and treat days on a long shoot, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Morestead can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

What else we do in Morestead
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Morestead, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
