Book the van in Water Stratford
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, it is light in Water Stratford until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
