Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Find out what documents the site needs
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Woolston: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Woolston?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Woolston.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
