The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December in Weeke means early darkness: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Weeke
Is Weeke close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
