The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Golden Pot, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Golden Pot
Do you come out to small places like Golden Pot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Golden Pot?
Alton station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check with facilities where the van can park
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
