Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Blewbury: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
