FAQs for Martin
Is Martin too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to Martin?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Martin and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
