Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Forest Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Shotover Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Forest Hill close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Forest Hill?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Forest Hill chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
