Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan bins near food stalls
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Information about power and water
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Little Frieth, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
