Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in Harrow ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Update numbers if they change
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for crew to gather round
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- The location’s agreement
Harrow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
