A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Classic food your crew already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Common questions in Grandpont
Is Grandpont close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send allergies to us in writing
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.
