Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
Hulverstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Hulverstone: your questions answered
Is Hulverstone too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Hulverstone?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
