For a shoot in a place like Pyle Hill, tracks and soft ground need checking. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pyle Hill?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter shoots near Pyle Hill chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
