DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

FAQs for Peper Harow
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Peper Harow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
