How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Lawrence Hill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
