Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why Cocking hosts choose us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

- Quick service from the hatch
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
Food your guests will love
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.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. For a staff lunch in Cocking, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send round an allergy question
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
