DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Tell us how many children are coming

We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.

Is West Tisted too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.

Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
