Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
Common questions in Little Frieth
How far is Little Frieth from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Little Frieth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Light in Little Frieth lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
