A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cover Chadlington and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
Step by step

- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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. With a van, it’s 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
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
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. We set everything out in your quote.
