Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A chip van compared with other options
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let your neighbours know
- Show us where the van would go
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
