Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

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 a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Questions from Sutton-under-Brailes
Is Sutton-under-Brailes too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
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.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. On a winter shoot near Sutton-under-Brailes, 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.
