Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Update numbers if they change
- Name a contact in the production office
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Henley Street
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Henley Street, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
