Why choose a fish and chip van in Boarshead?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Boarshead hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot. In December, daylight in Boarshead ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
