Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Whitton
Which station is closest to Whitton?
Whitton has its own station: Whitton station.
Can the van park in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
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.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Sunset in Whitton is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
