A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Netherton: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
