Selsted: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Selsted from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Selsted, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Larger groups usually 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.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Something for staff to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
