A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Farringdon? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Keep the queue away from the road.
A few lights around the van look great.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Farringdon, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
