These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week

Hale questions
Is Hale too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Hale, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
