Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. On a winter shoot near St Clement's, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Common questions in St Clement's
Is St Clement's close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to St Clement's?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
