Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send us a picture of the drive
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

- Where the van would park

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. A summer party in Piddington stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
