The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light in Stubbings lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for music video shoots and end-of-shoot parties.
Rural locations near Stubbings can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
