Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park.
What your quote should include
- How many hours the van serves
- When final numbers are due

Questions from WD3
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
