What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Lunchtime staff treats in Great Shefford are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
