About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in Horsenden means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan lighting near the hatch

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
