Albury questions
Do you come out to small places like Albury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Albury close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Albury?
We do. We serve events in Albury and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. There’s 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.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A queue area clear of trucks

- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Anywhere in OX9, we can fry fresh for your crew. Whether your shoot is on Oxford Road, Ickford Road and Albury View or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Albury, we also cover Tiddington (1 mile west), Draycott (1 mile north-west), Milton Common (1 mile south), Little Ickford (1 mile north) and Shabbington (1 mile north-east).

What affects the price in Albury
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Long summer days in Albury, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send final numbers the day before
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Plan bins at the unit base.
