A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and crew treats on long shoot days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
London locations around Rush Green can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Rush Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Long summer days in Rush Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
For event organisers in Rush Green
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
