Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Leckhampstead: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Leckhampstead?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Before you choose a spot

- Lighting for early or late service
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
