How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events in Faberstown have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
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
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
