Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

About our film set catering in Pamber End

The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and period dramas on location.

Near Pamber End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What affects the price in Pamber End

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • The day of the week
  • Your choice of menu
  • Numbers
  • Parking and the way in

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Why us?

  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

See our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.

Step by step

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Long summer days in Pamber End, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us a contact for the day
