What else we do in Holton
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Common questions in Holton
How far is Holton from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Holton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Holton?
Yes, we do. Holton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
