- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near Upper Halliford, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Upper Halliford: your questions answered
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Halliford?
Upper Halliford station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you come to Upper Halliford?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Upper Halliford and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
