A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Occasions we serve in TN7
People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Evening wedding food
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in TN7

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?

What’s on the menu?
