Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew morale days and location shoots.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, Fitzrovia is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Fitzrovia
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. On a winter shoot near Fitzrovia, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
