Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Richings Park ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

What else we do in Richings Park
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
