What affects the price in Uxbridge
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Uxbridge
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- Hot food handed straight over

Step by step
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Light in Uxbridge lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Questions from Uxbridge
Is Uxbridge close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Uxbridge?
The closest is West Drayton station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
