Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Angel questions
Which station is closest to Angel?
The closest is London Kings Cross station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park in Barnard Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Access and parking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer visit in Angel, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
