About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- What’s available on the pitch

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
