What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Around midsummer it stays light in Jordans until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Jordans
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Jordans?
The closest is Seer Green & Jordans station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Jordans? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
