Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
