Common questions in Wallcrouch
Do you come 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 follow the site rules.
Is Wallcrouch too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Wallcrouch?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Name a contact in the production office
- Share the base location and route
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us.

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
