Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Summer events in College Town have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go

Send us the date, the address or GU47 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
