The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Book as early as possible for December
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Cuddesdon. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
