Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Put allergy details in writing
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission for the van at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
