A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it’s light in Chestnut Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
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 is crisp.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Put allergy details in writing
Plan where the queue stands.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
