Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Stubb's Cross
Is Stubb's Cross too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
The process
