What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. On a winter shoot near Chambers' Green, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

FAQs for Chambers' Green
Is Chambers' Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Chambers' Green close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van if needed
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
