- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Lighting for early or late service

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Agree the waste plan with locations
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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 chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
