Why choose a fish and chip van in Henton?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Room for the crew to queue
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
