Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Plan bins and waste at base
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Plan bins at the unit base.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Clatterford
Can you serve near the sea around Clatterford?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Clatterford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to Clatterford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Clatterford is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Light near the van if needed
For somewhere as remote as Clatterford, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
