What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 normally the easier option.

Which station is closest to Easton?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
