Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Do you come out to small places like Fifield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Fifield?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.
- 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
