DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

Shooting in Broadland Row: unit bases and access
Broadland Row is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. People in Broadland Row book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Broadland Row is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Broadland Row to Canterbury (about 30 miles away).
Broadland Row is roughly 50 miles from central London. For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Doleham station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west of the centre. The coast is within about 5 miles of Broadland Row, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
Wherever your shoot is in TN31, we can fry fresh for your crew. That could mean a shoot at a home on Hundredhouse Lane and Udimore Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Broad Oak (1 mile west), Udimore (1 mile east), Beckley Furnace (1 mile north-west), Doleham (2 miles south-west) and Broad Street (2 miles south-east).

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Update numbers if they change
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
