Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, daylight in Marsh Gibbon ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
For event organisers in Marsh Gibbon
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
