Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Gravy
- Cod and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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.
