Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside shoots and location shoots.
For a location shoot near Denvilles, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
