Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter fairs in Cookley Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Questions from Cookley Green
Is Cookley Green close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Cookley Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
