What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December in Old Warren means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Keep the queue dry
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

- Nothing for you to cook or clear

FAQs for Old Warren
Is Old Warren close to London?

Could you trade in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Get in touch with the date.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
