Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
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 big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us a map or what3words for base
Used oil leaves with the van.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. On a winter shoot near Punnett's Town, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
