Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Parking and the way in
  • The minimum booking
  • Your choice of menu
  • How far we travel

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • The address or venue name
  • Expected numbers
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and time of the event

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Film set catering for your shoot in Harmans Water

On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for seaside shoots and live events and broadcasts.

For a location shoot near Harmans Water, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Diets, allergies and planning

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Plan bins and waste at base
  • Send the unit base address and directions
  • Name a contact in the production office
  • Update numbers if they change

We take our used oil and waste with us.

Bins at base keep the location clean.
