What affects the price in Forest Corner
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send round an allergy question
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
Plan cover for the queue.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
