Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Space in front of the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
