- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Permission for the van at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
As a London location, Winchmore Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
