- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children

- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Common questions in Minster Lovell
Is Minster Lovell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Minster Lovell close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Plan your Christmas party in Minster Lovell around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check the van can park on site
- Book as early as possible for December
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
