The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A clear route to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Update numbers if they change
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

Questions from Great Burgh
Is Great Burgh close to London?
About 14 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
