Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Update numbers if they change
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Name a contact in the production office
- Let us know about coeliac disease
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will check the date and send a price.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Boveney is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
