Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Plan bins and waste at base
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Mill End: your questions answered
How far is Mill End from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.

- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed 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.
