We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and evening wedding food.
For a rural spot like Bells Yew Green, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
A short menu keeps service quick.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

How much does a fish and chip van cost in Bells Yew Green?

Can you cook in the rain?

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Bells Yew Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
