The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Light in Forty Green lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Forty Green questions
Is Forty Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
