A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Brockley Hill
What about parking in Brockley Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Edgwarebury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In December, daylight in Brockley Hill ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
Used oil leaves with the van.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

- Level, firm ground at base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Access checked by locations
Brockley Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
