What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Spelsbury until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

FAQs for Spelsbury
Is Spelsbury close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Spelsbury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Spelsbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
