For a shoot in a place like Duncton, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for Duncton
How far is Duncton from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter shoots near Duncton chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
