Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Owlswick
Do you come out to small places like Owlswick?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to Owlswick?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Owlswick and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, daylight in Owlswick ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Have a back-up for special diets
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
