Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Wiggonholt questions
Which station is closest to Wiggonholt?
Pulborough station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Wiggonholt too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
