How we price a fish and chip van for your event
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Crooked Billet
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We’re often asked to cater school fairs and sports days and summer fairs, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Crooked Billet need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Crooked Billet have daylight until about 9:20pm 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, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Questions from Crooked Billet
What about parking in Crooked Billet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Crooked Billet?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have allergen information?

How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
