Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for wrap parties and music video shoots.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Great Stonar
Is Great Stonar close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Great Stonar?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
