Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. For crew morale days and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Hyde farm estate, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Hyde farm estate
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Questions from Hyde farm estate
Can the van park in Wandsworth Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hyde farm estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
