How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. On a winter shoot near Bullbrook, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 normally the easier option.
