Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. 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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Questions from Little Atherfield
Do you come out to small places like Little Atherfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Little Atherfield.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Plan your Christmas party in Little Atherfield around the dark: sunset is about 4:05pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Little Atherfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
