World's End questions
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is World's End close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A clear route to base

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in World's End, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
