Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Holly Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
