These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In summer, Higher Denham has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
