Fresh fish and chips in Hartfordbridge
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it is event crews and crew treats on long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, daylight in Hartfordbridge ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
