We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year

Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Common questions in Sibford Gower
Do you come out to small places like Sibford Gower?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Sibford Gower from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Permission for the van at base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
