A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
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.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Winchmore Hill
Is Winchmore Hill close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A clear way in for the van
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
