Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bentley Heath
What about parking in Bentley Heath?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Bentley Heath?
The closest is Potters Bar station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Where the van can park in Bentley Heath
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
Bentley Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- No surprises in your quote
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
