What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Information about power and water
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Cold Brayfield, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Cannot 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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Cold Brayfield
Do you come out to small places like Cold Brayfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Cold Brayfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Milton Keynes included. Find your area.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
