What affects the price in Green Street Green
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Access checked by locations
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
As a London location, Green Street Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Update numbers if they change
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Confirm allergies by email
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. On a winter shoot near Green Street Green, 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, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
