DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Why us?
- Classic food your crew already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Lillingstone Lovell: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
