Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chidham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your staff
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
