Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Details of any power or water on site
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
