Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Romney Street?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Romney Street: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
