- Not blocking ambulance bays

What affects the price in Catsfield
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
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. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December visits in Catsfield are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
