About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Durley Street?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Questions from Durley Street
How far is Durley Street from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Durley Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Check the spot with your manager
- Organise staff to carry food in
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
