A chip van near Crossbush
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap parties and location filming.
For a shoot in a place like Crossbush, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Long summer days in Crossbush, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
