We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for garden get-togethers and fish and chip days at care homes.
In a smaller place like Shenley Church End, a garden party with the van on the drive is often the simplest option: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Shenley Church End?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Shenley Church End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

Common questions in Shenley Church End

Is Shenley Church End close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us how many children are coming
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- 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
