The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a late-May party in Holme Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat

Common questions in Holme Green
Can you serve after a service at St Sebastian's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Holme Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Holme Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Numbers
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- 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
