Crew coming by rail can use the station: Adisham station, about 2.7 miles south, is the nearest station. Historic houses near Broomhill include Goodnestone Park (2.5 miles south). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In December, daylight in Broomhill ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
