Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
If you want something everyone will enjoy, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice for your event in KT21.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
