A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Sun Rising, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Sun Rising? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips

- Cod and chips
- Gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Put allergy details in writing
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Other occasions in Sun Rising
Sun Rising: your questions answered
Is Sun Rising too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
