Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Higham Hill?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Higham Hill questions
Which station is closest to Higham Hill?
Northumberland Park (London) station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
What about parking in Higham Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Light in Higham Hill lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
