Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In summer, a wake in Toddington has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
