Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Agree how the base is left
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A dining area at base helps.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Permission for the van at base
As a London location, Park Royal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices

- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips

- Haddock and chips
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. Long summer days in Park Royal, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Park Royal
Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Park Royal?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
