A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 normally the easier option.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

About 47 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Chapel Row?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
