Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.

Chackmore: your questions answered
Could you trade in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Chackmore too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
