Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Cooper's Green
Is Cooper's Green close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Cooper's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Cooper's Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Cooper's Green.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
