The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Nuffield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

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 you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Name a contact in the production office
- Send allergies to us in writing
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Nuffield
Do you come out to small places like Nuffield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
