A chip van near Chillerton
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evenings in Chillerton stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Chillerton
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

FAQs for Chillerton
We’re gathering after a service at St. Olave's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Chillerton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
