Questions from Marsh Green
Do you come out to small places like Marsh Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Marsh Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Marsh Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
