Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Woodham?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

How it works

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
