A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
