Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Lower Green
Is Lower Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Green?
Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to Lower Green?
Yes, we do. Lower Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
- The location’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
