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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

FAQs for Westenhanger
Can you serve near the sea around Westenhanger?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Westenhanger close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
