Why choose a fish and chip van in Gardeners Green?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Gardeners Green: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Get a quote
