Other occasions in Langley
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Langley questions
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Langley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. An afternoon Christmas party in Langley can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Festive lights by the van look great.
- 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
