Near Iver Heath, base may be a field or yard. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Iver Heath
Is Iver Heath close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Iver Heath?
Iver station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the base location and route
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A dining area at base helps.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Iver Heath?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. On a winter shoot near Iver Heath, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
