Planning an event in Heron Quays?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Film set catering for your shoot in Heron Quays
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for wrap celebrations and seaside and period locations.
In Heron Quays, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
