Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route to base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Great Rollright: your questions answered
Is Great Rollright close to London?
About 70 miles from central London.
Is Great Rollright too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, Great Rollright has light until about 9:30pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
