A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Events in North End and across Portsmouth
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer events after work in North End have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in North End
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is North End from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North End.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
