Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Fisher, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.

- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Fisher: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Fisher?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Leodegar's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we don’t know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
