A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before booking
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Common questions in Chieveley
How far is Chieveley from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
