Questions from Ifieldwood
How far is Ifieldwood from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Ifieldwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Ifieldwood: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
