Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Iford, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

A chip van compared with other options

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
