North Heath questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is North Heath close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We only need a few details to quote: 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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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 is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
