For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a late-May party in Denmead, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- 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, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
