Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a 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 solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree the terms in writing
When the event closes, we pack up.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter fairs in Bowes Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
