Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. We are often asked to cater event crews and seaside and period locations, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Iping, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What affects the price in Iping
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Iping?
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Light in Iping lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Plan bins and waste at base
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

- The location’s agreement
- A queue area clear of trucks
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
