Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. It gets dark in Epwell by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
