DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near East Cholderton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready 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
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
