Fresh fish and chips in Chapel Row

Film set catering in Chapel Row, fried fresh

Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For seaside and period locations and wrap celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

Rural locations near Chapel Row can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, Chapel Row has light until about 9:15pm.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Ensure the van can get in

What affects the price in Chapel Row

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Whether a minimum applies

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Allergies and diets you know about

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Add an allergy question to crew forms
  • Name a contact in the production office
  • Agree the waste plan with locations
  • Confirm numbers the day before

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.

A dining area at base helps.
