Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will adjust where we can. Typical bookings include location filming and wrap celebrations, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Shopwyke can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book our van in Shopwyke
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A quote that spells everything out
- A menu almost everyone likes
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Shopwyke questions
How far is Shopwyke from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Shopwyke?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
For event organisers in Shopwyke
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
