Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Calvert are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

The menu, dish by dish

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Questions from Calvert
Do you come out to small places like Calvert?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Calvert from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
