Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Daylight is short on winter shoots near West Green: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
- Make sure the van can get in

FAQs for West Green
Can the van park in Grattons Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to West Green?
The closest is Crawley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Why choose a fish and chip van in West Green?
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
