Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.

Typically, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
