Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Maids Moreton questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Edmund?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Maids Moreton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
