Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Hundridge hosts choose us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Hundridge, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Hundridge
How far is Hundridge from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Is Hundridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hundridge.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Name a contact in the production office
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Share the base location and route
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
