Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Middleton-on-Sea, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
