On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. Typical bookings include seaside and period locations and location shoots, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
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:
- Light near the van if needed
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Permission for the van at base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
