A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Share the shift pattern
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

East Challow: your questions answered
Could you trade in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Organising a club, school or community event in East Challow? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime staff treats in East Challow are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
