A chip van near Stalisfield Green
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or ME13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
How our film set catering works in Stalisfield Green
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. We are frequently asked to cater ad shoots and photo shoots, with cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Stalisfield Green, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
FAQs for Stalisfield Green
Which station is closest to Stalisfield Green?
Charing station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Stalisfield Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
