Film set catering for your shoot in North Moreton
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are frequently asked to cater live events and broadcasts and crew lunches at base, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near North Moreton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
