Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

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.

- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
How we price a fish and chip van
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Fewer choices mean faster service
After service, we pack up.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in SE1
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
