The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. 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.

See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Update numbers if they change
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
