Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and 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.

Do you come out to small places like Upper North Dean?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
