Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Planning the van’s spot

- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Bow Brickhill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
