For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What affects the price in Lane End
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
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.

The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about

Haddock and chips

- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in
