What else we do in Sandwich Bay Estate
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- The location’s agreement
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
