Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter shoots near Turville Heath chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
