A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event

About the food

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

- A queue area clear of trucks
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Give us a contact for call-time changes

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Winter shoots near Holmer Green chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
