What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Winter shoots near Willesden chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Before you choose a spot

- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Willesden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
