What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party

- Service time
- The menu and how many choices

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Landport drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

FAQs for Landport
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Landport from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
