What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Stamford Hill
Is parking a problem for the van in Stamford Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Stamford Hill?
Stamford Hill has its own station: Stamford Hill station.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Stamford Hill is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
