Why choose a fish and chip van in Hatch Warren?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?

- All the chip-shop extras
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer fêtes in Hatch Warren have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
