A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Common questions in Cores End
Which station is closest to Cores End?
Bourne End station, in Cores End itself.
How far is Cores End from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
