Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
Used oil leaves with the van.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
Bromley Common 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
