What affects the price in Sulham

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Whether a minimum applies
How long we serve
The menu and how many choices

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.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

Any dietary needs and allergies
The spot you have in mind for the van
The date and time of the event
A photo of the parking spot

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Film set catering for your shoot in Sulham

A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it’s event crews and crew lunches at base, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Rural locations near Sulham can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, Sulham has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.

We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.

Planning help

Sulham: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Sulham?

Pangbourne station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.

Is Sulham too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you work to the call sheet?

We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

What about crew who do not eat fish?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What will the production need?

Send us your supplier requirements.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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 usually the easier option.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
