What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Film set catering for your shoot in North Sheen
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re frequently asked to cater location shoots and stills shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Shoots in North Sheen frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
As a London location, North Sheen is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Long summer days in North Sheen, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

North Sheen questions
Could you trade in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in North Sheen?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you park at the unit base?
Typically, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
Do you come to North Sheen?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and North Sheen is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
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 normally the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Sheen? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
