What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Common questions in Calvert
Is Calvert close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Calvert?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is usually wise. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Calvert?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December in Calvert means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why Calvert hosts choose us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan cover for the queue
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will check the date and send a price.
