A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Light matters for evening service: in Chislehurst, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
