Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed
See our prices page or the cost guide.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Where the van can park in Winslow
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- What’s available on the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For an evening event in Winslow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For event organisers in Winslow
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
