Film set catering in Northmoor, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We’re often asked to cater stills shoots and outside broadcasts, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Northmoor, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

FAQs for Northmoor
Is Northmoor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Northmoor from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Northmoor?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
What affects the price in Northmoor
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
