About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van

- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure the van can park legally
It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Common questions in Grove Park
Could you trade in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Augustine's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
