Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send final numbers the day before
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a map or what3words for base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Space in front of the hatch
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
For somewhere as remote as Chilton Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Chilton Green
Can you serve near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Chilton Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. In December, daylight in Chilton Green ends around 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
