Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put bins and napkins by the van
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Around midsummer it stays light in Chipping Norton until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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 usually simpler.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
