For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in St Johns is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- 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’re available that day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
St Johns is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
