Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

- Give us a map or what3words for base

Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
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 a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear route to base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
