Film set catering for your shoot in South Moreton
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include crew morale days and unit base lunches, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Near South Moreton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. In December, daylight in South Moreton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to South Moreton?

Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Do you clear up afterwards?

Where can the van park?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
