How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, Moulsecoomb has light until about 9:15pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
For event organisers in Moulsecoomb
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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
