The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning help
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
