A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Events we cater in Owlsmoor
Almost every visitor likes fish and chips.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
