A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What you get with us

- Something for guests to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Westley, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- You share 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.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The day of the week
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Chips
Questions from Westley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Stephen: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Westley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
