Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- What’s available on the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Getting an accurate quote

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Ewshot, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. 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 do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
