Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and seaside and period locations, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots in Grange Mills frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. On a winter shoot near Grange Mills, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
