DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Film set catering for your shoot in Burley
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include location filming and end-of-shoot parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Burley, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
For event organisers in Burley
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Burley
Do you come out to small places like Burley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you cover Burley?
We do. Burley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near Burley, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
