About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Crews Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Crews Hill is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
