Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In December, daylight in North Cheam ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
