The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Little Tew is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Little Tew
Is Little Tew close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Is Little Tew too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Send the unit base address and directions
- Update numbers if they change
- Flag any coeliac crew
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Working with your venue
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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
