Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 helps if some guests do not eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. In Drayton Parslow, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
