Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, daylight in Hatherden ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Update numbers if they change
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
