How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near Shenley Church End, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

FAQs for Shenley Church End
Can the van park in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How far is Shenley Church End from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.

Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
