Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a staff lunch in Midanbury, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Organising a club, school or community event in Midanbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Share the shift pattern
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Midanbury?
