What else we do in Shanklin Village
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Light near the van if needed
- Access checked by locations
Shanklin Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter shoots near Shanklin Village chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
