A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

Fish and chip van hire in Sutton, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip days at care homes and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Sutton, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How we price a fish and chip van
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evenings in Sutton stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
