What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Events we cater in Wooburn
Productions book a chip van because crews love it.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Stills shoots
- Lunch at the unit base

Historic houses near Wooburn include Cliveden (1.5 miles south). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Wooburn
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Long summer days in Wooburn, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
