Organising a club, school or community event in Forton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
