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

For planners, venues and organisers

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.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

What affects the price in Hale Green

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • How far we travel
  • Numbers
  • Any minimum charge
  • The day of the week

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

The process

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For an end-of-day event in Hale Green, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
