The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Burgh Hill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Why choose a fish and chip van in Burgh Hill?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
The cost per head generally 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
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
