A chip van compared with other options
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen needed
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know of any allergies
- Plan seating for older guests
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
