Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
