If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Update numbers if they change
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. In December, daylight in Milton Street ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Milton Street: your questions answered
Is Milton Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Milton Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Milton Street. For a quote, use our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
