The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Questions from Butler's Cross
How far is Butler's Cross from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Send us the details.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
