About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Occasions we serve in De Beauvoir Town
It’s self-contained, just a spot at the unit base.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Shoots on location
- Wrap celebrations
- Seaside shoots
- Crew treats on long shoot days
Nearby historic houses include Sutton House (1.3 miles east) and Mansion House (2.1 miles south). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in De Beauvoir Town
What about parking in De Beauvoir Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Light in De Beauvoir Town lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Where the van can park in De Beauvoir Town
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, De Beauvoir Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
