Film set catering for your shoot in Moreton
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We are often asked to cater crew lunches at base and period dramas on location, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Moreton, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Perfect for your shoot in Moreton
It is a morale boost.
Whatever the occasion in Moreton, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Ad shoots
- Crew treats on long shoot days
- Stills shoots
- Shoots on location
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.2 miles north-east, is the nearest station.
Questions to ask before booking
- A clear list of what’s included
- How many hours the van serves
- Payment terms and deposit
- How late numbers can change
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Moreton: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Moreton: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Is Moreton close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Moreton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Moreton is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Space in front of the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
