Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A lit spot for evening service
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
