What affects the price in Easthampstead
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book our van in Easthampstead

We take our used oil and waste with us.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Easthampstead: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
