Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Put allergy details in writing

- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
