Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

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’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Nether Wallop: your questions answered
Is Nether Wallop close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Nether Wallop too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
