Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- The length of service
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the base location and route
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A dining area at base helps.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A clear route to base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
Common questions in Frimley Green
How far is Frimley Green from London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
