Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Bookings across Hampshire, including North Warnborough
- Everything cooked to order at your event

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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Which station is closest to North Warnborough?
Hook station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like North Warnborough?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In December, daylight in North Warnborough ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
