A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside shoots and end-of-shoot parties.
London locations around Broadwater Farm can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear route to base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Broadwater Farm

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Broadwater Farm: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Broadwater Farm?
The closest is Bruce Grove station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can the van park in Bruce Castle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light in Broadwater Farm lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
