FAQs for Three Leg Cross
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Three Leg Cross close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Access checked by locations
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or TN5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
