Questions from Perham Down
Is Perham Down close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Perham Down too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter shoots near Perham Down chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
