Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Events in Ellen's Green and across West Sussex
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- No surprises in your quote

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Update numbers if they change
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Agree how the base is left
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
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.
