DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in Blindley Heath, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Blindley Heath questions
Do you come out to small places like Blindley Heath?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Lingfield Wildlife Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van come to Blindley Heath?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Blindley Heath is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
