Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. For wrap celebrations and outside broadcasts, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Addlestone is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Addlestone: your questions answered
How far is Addlestone from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.

How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
