What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A lit spot for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Tortington
Can you serve near the sea around Tortington?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Tortington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Tortington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot; we will check access.
