Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
