For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Shelvin? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

FAQs for Shelvin
Is Shelvin too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Shelvin close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. A van brings the treat to them. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
