A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Frindsbury hosts choose us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or ME2 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
On the menu in Frindsbury
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Flag any coeliac staff
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Frindsbury have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
