Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Hyde Heath
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Hyde Heath from London?
About 27 miles from central London.
Can the van come to Hyde Heath?
We do. We serve events in Hyde Heath and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Update numbers if they change
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Room for the crew to queue
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
