Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Put allergy details in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access checked by locations
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Space in front of the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Northchapel
How far is Northchapel from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Something for crew to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
