What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates
- Away from emergency access
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
