How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van if needed
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Access checked by locations
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Long summer days in Arundel, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
FAQs for Arundel
Can you serve near the sea around Arundel?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Arundel Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
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 need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Do you cover Arundel?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Arundel is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
