Common questions in Draycott
Is Draycott close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Is Draycott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Draycott.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send final numbers the day before
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Access checked by locations
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
