DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Common questions in Milton
How far is Milton from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
