DIY versus a fish and chip van

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 is fried on the spot.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How it works

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. On a winter shoot near Cubitt Town, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
You hear back on the date and the price.
We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Getting ready for the day

Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Can the van park in Mudchute Park and Farm?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
