Planning an event in Little Stanmore?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
About our film set catering in Little Stanmore
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap celebrations and photo shoots.
In Little Stanmore, access to base can be tight, so tell us the route and any height limits. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
