For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning a shoot in Weald
Weald is about 4 miles south-east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. People in Weald book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying.

Historic houses near Weald include Kelmscott Manor (4.2 miles south-west) and Longworth House (4.9 miles east). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
