Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting for later visits

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
