For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
