DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

FAQs for Chackmore
How far is Chackmore from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Chackmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. At midsummer, Chackmore has light until about 9:30pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
