Food your guests will love

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Consider a pre-order list
- Give us break and shift times
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
