How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In December, daylight in Addington ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Questions from Addington
What’s the nearest station to Addington?
West Wickham station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Addington Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Name a contact in the production office
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Give us a map or what3words for base
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Where the van can park in Addington
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission for the van at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Addington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
