Planning the van’s spot

- A spot near your guests
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
Keep the queue away from the road.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
