Prices and what affects them

- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
As a London location, Harrow on the Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Harrow on the Hill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.

- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
