What else we do in Butler's Cross
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies

For event organisers in Butler's Cross
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Count families who are joining in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A clear way in for the van
- With the serving side away from windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
