Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 normally the easier option.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van

- A picture of where the van would go

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Lighting for later visits
