About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A clear way in for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Bisham is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
