Mop End questions
Do you come out to small places like Mop End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Mop End from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.

We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter shoots near Mop End chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day

What the van needs

- Level, firm ground at base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Permission for the van at base

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
