No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ford?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
