Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For seaside shoots and shoots on location, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near North Leigh, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

North Leigh: your questions answered
How far is North Leigh from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Is North Leigh too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Leigh.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Access checked by locations
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
