Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For event organisers in Snagshall
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Snagshall by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
