What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near Sun Rising, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Sun Rising questions
Do you come out to small places like Sun Rising?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Permission for the van at base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
