How to compare vans

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How long we serve
  • The number of meals
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The day of the week

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

How it works

Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For an end-of-day event in Crouch End, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Clear the route for the van

Where the van can park in Crouch End

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Crouch End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

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 nobody has to miss the staff event.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

How long are you on site?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
