Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Count children separately
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put allergy details in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Cowley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
