How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Questions from Hammerpot
How far is Hammerpot from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
