Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send round an allergy question
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Book as early as possible for December
When service is finished, we pack up.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or PO18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

Step by step

- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
