Planning for dietary needs

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Cottonworth? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Cottonworth is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Cottonworth
Is Cottonworth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Curry sauce

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
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.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
