DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Old Chiswick: your questions answered
Could you trade in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Old Chiswick?
The closest is Chiswick station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Level, firm ground at base
Old Chiswick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Long summer days in Old Chiswick, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
