The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. On a winter shoot near Brighthampton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What affects the price in Brighthampton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Service time
- The day of the week
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
