A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure the van can park legally
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Put the menu up by the van.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
