A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Classic food your crew already know
- No surprises in your quote
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- All the chip-shop extras

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

FAQs for Ram Lane
Which station is closest to Ram Lane?
Charing station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Ram Lane?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from 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 to keep the queue moving.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
