Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Show us where the van would go
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Plan cover in case of showers.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Dancers Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote
What affects the price in Dancers Hill
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
