Working with your venue

About our film set catering in West Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. For location filming and seaside shoots, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near West Green can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

West Green: your questions answered
Is West Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is West Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
