Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event

- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure the van can park legally

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently 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 will work through them with you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Sheerwater
Can the van park in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is Sheerwater too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
