Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Service time
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening events in Haydon Hill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Haydon Hill questions
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Haydon Hill from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
