FAQs for Golden Pot
Do you come out to small places like Golden Pot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Golden Pot?
Alton station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Send us your supplier requirements.

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you come to Golden Pot?

Do you fry it on site?

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We clear up quickly after lunch.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Light in Golden Pot lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
