Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

What affects the price in Popeswood
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
