About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van

FAQs for MK12
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
