DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in Upton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Upton
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Upton?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
