Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter shoots near Up Nately chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
There’s 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.

- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
