Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
What affects the price in Charney Bassett
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Tell us about the pitch
- Display allergens for each stall
Put bins near the queue.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
