Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
