What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Count children separately
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Questions from Drayton Parslow
Is Drayton Parslow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
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 normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
