About the food

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Diets, allergies and planning

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.

Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
