About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Put bins near the queue.
A few benches near the van help.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Service time
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.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Questions from South Heath
Do you trade at school fairs around South Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is South Heath close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
