Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an end-of-day event in Saddlescombe, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Saddlescombe
How far is Saddlescombe from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Waterhall?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
