What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in St Helier?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, St Helier is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

For event organisers in St Helier
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in St Helier drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
