How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. On a winter shoot near Kingston Bagpuize, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Common questions in Kingston Bagpuize
Is Kingston Bagpuize close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
