Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it is wrap parties and seaside shoots, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Ravenstone, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why Ravenstone hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen needed
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Ravenstone is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
