The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff Christmas parties and depot Christmas treats.
In winter near Sutton Scotney, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
