Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. 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 us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen needed

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer fêtes in Clewer have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
