DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Burdrop
How far is Burdrop from London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Burdrop?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
