FAQs for Eddington
Can you serve near the sea around Eddington?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Eddington close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
