Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The location’s agreement
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices

Details that help

- Anything awkward about the way in

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Aston Tirrold
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Aston Tirrold too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
