A chip van near Blissford
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it’s end-of-shoot parties and photo shoots, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
