Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. Popular choices include chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater community open days and club open days.
A fête near Stone Street might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in Stone Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
