How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Tinsley Green lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
