What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Light in Lamport lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Lamport: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Lamport?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Lamport close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Do you come to Lamport?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lamport is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
