Questions from Albourne Street
Which station is closest to Albourne Street?
Hassocks station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Is Albourne Street close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or BN6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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’s fried on the spot.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Sunset in Albourne Street is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.

- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
