What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. On a winter shoot near Redlands, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
